What a wonderful person you are Demi, so courageous & beautiful inside and out. I am a bi-lateral stroke survivor and it is a challenging healing journey. I had my strokes in 2020 and like you, I used to adore being the centre of attention. Now I am different but making some headway towards building confidence. Take care & hope you go from strength to strength. You deserve it!
I had a stroke last year. The doctor's didn't know what was happening to me. In the E.R., I really had to tell my son, since my speech was deteriorating very fast, "I'd be okay, It's not that bad", knowing i might not live. I'm not the same person from before, it felt like i was a hollow shell of what i used to be.
Thank you for sharing, it sounds like a natural response to feel like a different person after a traumatic event. Some survivors find it useful to talk with a therapist to work through those emotions. We have lots of stories on our website www.differentstrokes.co.uk Wishing you lots of luck with your on-going recovery - you are not alone 💚
