A lady after my own heart. A day off a week completely without responsibilities sounds wonderful to me with the head injury I have. Cognitive exhaustion really makes sense to me and has given me something to think about.
My mind is perpetually blank and I cannot socialise at all, I usually respond i dont know slowly or am totally confused. I think i have brain injury but i dont know how. Im not sure if its scripted, but glad she still manages to speak so well.
I had the same problem. My counselor helped me get to a SPEECH THERAPIST. Call your doctor and tell them you need a referral for either a speech or occupational therapist. They are the ONLY ones who can test your memory and determine what is wrong. A doctor can't do it. The damage won't show up in any scans. This changed my life!!! Tell your doctor you're having memory problems and you just want it checked. If you've told him that before he should have made these arrangements, but you have to TELL HIM. DON'T LET HIM PUT YOU ON ANY DRUGS. If you're taking Benedryl, STOP.
@@1961-v9kA TBI can be caused by different things. A stroke, aneurysm, noise (military), or being hit in the head. Also, some people have problems after having anesthesia.
@@samsmom400 WRONG. The clue is in ‘traumatic’ (trauma) meaning when an external physical assault damages the brain causing a brain bleed. Which is what the Neurosurgeon told me when I had mine. When a stroke or aneurysm occurs spontaneously it cannot be referred to as traumatic because no trauma has occurred.
@@1961-v9k My comment was to give helpful information to someone who may not know how to get the help needed. I am in support classes for people who suffer from brain injuries from everything I described. All the classes are listed as TBI. I'm not trying to be specific to medical terms that mean nothing to the general population. I'm using "lay terms" that are used everyday by people who work with the brain injured. Everyone knows and understands the term TBI. Only when diagnosing does one need to be specific to specific medical terminology. Also when coding for insurance. I am in constant daily contact with multiple agencies and support groups and this is the lingo. It's similar to the term dementia. It's used to describe a condition, not specific to a the origin or diagnosis. There are many kinds of dementia. There's no need to get into the specifics unless as stated before; a medical diagnosis by a doctor or coding for insurance. Peace
I am 32 years old and I was born with a brain injury and I have a shunt on my right side of my head I have had 8 shunt surgery and deal with headaches and memory loss it keeps getting worse 😭
As a special education tutor, I’ve seen this in many children and teens. A child who seems “normal” despite a trauma of some sort when very young, gradually falls behind or has behavioral difficulties as he/she ages, often has a brain injury. The sooner it is identified and remedied, the better.
I totally relate. I had TBI back in March when I fainted at work, cracked my skull on the concrete floor, was rushed to A&E but had two seizures, so was blue lighted to a larger hospital with a brain trauma unit. It transpired I had a brain bleed and although I was unconscious I was put into an induced coma and in hospital for six weeks. I’m left with sequencing and attention memory problems, but I’m now experiencing hypersensitivity from noises and feel like my brain is flooding with too much information.
Am 56 now and have been living with TBI since I was an 11-year-old child. I was knocked over by a car on the way to school, was in a coma for 4 days, when I came out of the coma one side of my body was partially paralysed and my personality was changed, I didn't know who I was or who anyone else was, I lived an alternate reality for months and months. I remember playing a game of draughts with a friend and stepping back into normality. of course everyone was delighted that I appeared well again. My parents took me to the local GP, he tested my reflexes, my GP was delighted and ok'd me to go back to school. End of story. (Not) In 1978 there was no aftercare for children with a TBI. Still to this day I have not had an official diagnosis. Rather it being a condition that I have always just dealt with. I know now, that as a child after the accident, I was living with a learning disability and was just expected to carry on as normal. It was while at school, I started having horrific visions that would terrify me of the people that I loved being harmed. I also had impulses to self-harm. This would last for up to 6 months and then vanish. I was too scared of the consequences of speaking what I was experiencing, so would deal with it in silence. Of course this stopped me from gaining any academic qualifications or being able to succeed in anything. Because when the fear and visions gripped me, I was unable to do anything other than deal with it. I lived in silence and perhaps in denial that there was anything wrong with me until I was 24 years of age.The fear hit and I knew I needed help, but still was too fearful of the consequences of speaking my unspoken reality. I started reading the Tarot Cards as a way of connecting to other people who may have been experiencing something similar to myself, Then in 1994 I had a calling to become a Spiritual Healer to heal and understand myself. I knew my ill mental health was caused by the TBI that I experienced as an 11 years old, however I didn't At that time have the vocabulary to explain myself. In 1996 I studied 2nd degree Reiki and found the formula and method that would allow the healing of past trauma, It answered all the questions I was too fearful to ask and gave me a lifelong vocation as a Spiritual Healer and Reiki Master. with a focus on the Healing of past mental and emotional trauma. I was completely dedicated and disciplined with focus to heal my broken inner child. I was self-employed as a Tarot Reader and Spiritual Healer based in Edinburgh and had done four Summer Seasons with The Spiegel Tent at the Edinburgh Fringe and in 2000 I was invited to Adelaide to work with The Spiegel Tent at the Adelaide Fringe. It was a very successful event and I met a lady and fell in love. This lady I married and emigrated to do so. My wife's uncle, I became great friends with. He had served in Vietnam, from which he had also suffered a TBI, his experience was a mirror to my own, he was pensioned off because of post-traumatic syndrome. This was when I learned my own experience to be Post Trauma too. This was the first time that I had found an explanation to my suffering. In 2003, the fear and the visions stopped, I had achieved the healing that I needed without medical assistance. my marriage ended in 2004 and returned to Edinburgh to continue my vocation as a Spiritual Healer and Reiki Master/Teacher.. From which I have great success helping people to heal from past traumatic wounding. I understand that I will never have the full function that an untraumatised brain allows and yes I make academic mistakes because of this and at 56 years of age I am in the understanding that I need a diagnosis from a Health professional to state that I am an adult with a learning disability who has been living with this condition for 42 years. Could anyone advise me on how I go about doing this?
My apologies for not having advice on the matter at hand, as I don't have TBI but I do have MS. Although, my diagnoses are different (I think) your story resonates with me, for the simple fact, I think I'm called to heal others. For some odd reason, I can heal others in a matter of hours but can't heal myself. I healed my brother from COVID that took over his body for weeks an less than 24 hours he was back on his feet like he didn't just have a 104 fever. But I pray that you receive answers and thank you for sharing your story as it opened my eyes and helped me in so many ways 💕
My TBI has limited me in many ways.. Post TBI I attempted and failed to become a Special Education Teacher,Car Salesman and 911 Radio Dispstcher due to my TBI issues -( repeating myself,lack of multitasking skills,anger,anxiety,anger,memory issues,frustration etc)... I currently recieve Social Security Disability Income (SSDI),Food Stamps,Medicare,Medicaid and Section 8 for housing... I work part time as a driver for a car dealership...
I was in a motorcycle accident October 1, 2023. TBI, crushed T-7 (but was in place so no paralysis, was cemented), crushed left leg (my knee replacement titanium kept it from breaking but all the tissue was crushed causing CRPS), broken foot. I’m still recovering, the TBI and knee crush injuries were/are difficult to treat and heal from. I was going around a corner, caught gravel on the curve, it threw my rear tire out off of the pavement, it headed into the ditch but hit a hump and was violently thrown onto my left side. It could’ve gone so much worse but yet was very serious. I don’t know if I’ll ride again. I left my boyfriend after rehab due to his neglegent and traumatic treatment of me. I’m till recovering a tiny amount at a time, going through surgeries and therapy alone. I’m having a LOT of difficulty with loud sounds, going to the grocery store with moving my head all over making me feel so dizzy that I can’t do it very long. I’m seriously struggling with things that don’t make sense and no one to help me truly get through the TBI. No one understands and it’s hard to live a regular life. There’s no one to talk to about this. Ty for making this video. Hugz, Tree
Proud of you keep going doing amazing things stay strong stay positive stay safe sending luck hugs prayers most of all love from headway Nottingham UK you got this we are survivors happy Christmas happy new year takecare x
I dealt with this. It was rough. Finally seeing the light after a long while. Not 100% but very functional. Invisible scars and invisible deficits are very real.
Try this with anxiety, social anxiety, Depression, Isolation, cognitive and judgement problems .. all caused by a moderate concussion . You cabt do anything . Life is over now
Im pretty sure that i experienced a TBI in my first years of life. I relate to alot of the c-ptsd material and I dont really feel genuinely connected to normal people. Id like to talk to someone but im not sure if its all in my head. Is anyone familiar with a resource that I could access to help clear things up?
I shared this but I am sure no one will watch it. Nothing going on here they think. Oh I forget names all the time too they say. I want to say, oh, you had your head ran over too?
It a good initiative but I do worry a bit that the moral imperatives can be ignored. In other words it may lead to getting of GBH charges or even murder charges. Please seperate the head injury from situations where real wrong has been done to other people. You could easily lose your way if you ignore morality in the sense of right and wrong.
