Sleep literally reverses age no cap. Got hit by car oct 16th last year and I was always tried. Sleep sleep sleeep

Thank you for the information. Bless you

I have a tbi when I was 10 then a concussion from back in June I have always had emotional issues.

Thanks for this. Some times it hard to not feel alone post TBI. This helped :)

Sounds like how autistic people process and respond to emotions.

exactly my experience. thank you for articulating every detail so well!

I may have had 8 decent nights sleep since my fall on ice in 2009! Had sleep study at Dartmouth and all they talked about how I don't need a CPAP! I told them before going in from working in a sleep study group in the 90's that I didn't need it! I just need to sleep but with my 8-9 concussions (which were finally diagnosed in 2013) I have multiple sleep disturbances from 30-80 per night probably from my TBIs...😵🥱 Exhausted, brain fatigue, brain fog, can't remember things, wake up about 10 hours after being up, storms barometric pressure, knock me on my butt, almost vegetation state!! life stinks!! But I keep plugging away 15 1/2 years later!! 😢🫤

Do the dishes & laundry 😂 I'm trying to keep myself housed

I get flare-ups almost every night in my sleep! So I am recovering from that all day, only to prepare myself carefully for the next night if sleep with hopefully no flare-ups

You do such a great job! Glad we were able to make the Brain Injury Awareness Day(s) on the Hill!! Keep going!!

** This might be too sensitive or come on come off or come off rude Or something.*** I'm not tech Savvy and I have to try to talk instead of typing and it messes up too. Which probably doesn't matter. Cause I messed up anyways... Positivness is great to see. I writing before the Doctor dude is on b4 i forget, not such a good day right now. Please excuse me struggle to communicate if happening. My TBI happened 39 old. Up bringing bad CPTSD .... FAMILY had me hurt, this not first time almost Succeeded. There's people that know.... to long to get into ... 2015 2nd ON 2 year mark.. i was starting to be really good.. So I notice young people have way better chances they young and still have love,patience, support with them. Going to be a great success stories, ya know.? Which don't Get me wrong So very happy for them. I would not wish this on the People. that did this to me Even. Hate the sin, not the sinner.. I need to see real stories on. Fellow survivors who Didn't get so lucky. Like the dark side coming to light if ever.. Trillions of us end up homeless and judged Re. Abused. Even re abused by State housing and State team. People that are too help you. Getting turned down for E Every.. Thing period because you are below poverty and are. Alone and disposable. You're literally told that. And while on the worst lowest insurance that you cannot get the help that you need, nor have the money to do what you need to do to heal. Not even a drug addict or alcoholic. Just. Trying to survive. Consent survival mode. Retromatized after retromatizes. I watch these videos in hopes, but my insurance will not be enough. To take advice for doctors and such.. Need videos of the hard hellish stuff like this like me and if there's hope there seems to be no hope. It's been so long now. Too long, too tired. And that is a understatement. These videos people seem to care, but they are behind their screens.

I get angry at lack of common sense. I don't like change, caused by someone else, that I can't change in the moment. An example of that, is. Needing to go somewhere, but. Being dependent on the actions of someone else, who has a different set of priorities. I do ride a bike in traffic, and always keep in mind the traffic laws. So I have a good idea, how the traffic is going to behave on certain roads. At certain times of the day, depending on the day of the week.

I don’t feel lonely anymore. I feel more love and happy with our God read the whole NIV with my headphones

I had encephalitis 19 years ago

Thank you all. I just found your podcast/youtube channel. My boyfriend just went experienced his TBI and is fresh in recovery. I just found out from his sister on Saturday. I would love to talk more to any of you if you have the time. I’m praying so hard. Giving it all to God to heal him. But no one I go to right now is understanding this experience. My baby needed his re-birth, but I didn’t expect it to happen this way. Any love or support is appreciated ♥️🫂♥️❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹🫂🫂🫂

I have a traumatic brain injury and I am sooo impressed with Madi and Cristabelle. Thanks so much you all for your support and courage.

I attended Recovery International which is free, for over 10 years. The method created by Dr. Abraham A. LOW helped me overcome panic attacks and social anxiety. I also attended AA... sober 39 years now- AA/ NA and therapy, massage therapy and nicorette and American Lung Association tapes helped me quit smoking. Walking in nature. Gratitude. One day at a time. Don't look back with regret.

I wish this was more accessible in 2020. Really appreciative in the growing ease of being able to find this specific type of information ❤ Stay strong 💚We can make it through the hard days my fellow Surviors. I love you all, Big big hugs

thanks for this I suffered a bad hand injury that turned into multifocal chronic pain. really resonated with the loss of hobbies and hours (so many hours) of free time to focus on recovery

When this video started I thought to myself I wish someone with a tbi was the one speaking and then I related to almost everything you said

Thank you for sharing💞 its nice to know someone else is going thru the same things I have also experienced. You are describing sooooo much of my feelings and struggles 💞

Thank you for all the information is helps Me to understand what is happening to Me

Girl you on point 😂

I feel like this lady knows me. Everything she says here describes me.

I dont even know who I am anymore if that makes any sense. I hate it.....I feel like ive legitimately fryed my Brain ....Sub Arachnoid Brain Hemorrhage 9-26-2020

Because others kept trying to tell me there is nothing wrong with me I started to belive it too. I hid and tried to overcompensate with evrything. Until I went back to school and realized what I used to do isn't working I HAD to face the truth. Your channel helped me see that it's OK to have a new normal and I need to find new ways of doing things. Thank you.

Ppl say I don’t get sarcasm , ya right

I'm not alone 😢

It’s absolutely crazy, tbi emotions , almost 20 years for me

It’s absolutely crazy, tbi emotions

My hormones did the opposite. A crazy high amount of progesterone and very little estrogen.

After my car accident back in 9/11/23 I have had a hard time processing daily task. I have had a hard time dealing with depression. I have had thoughts of suicide

Good afternoon I realize that this post will definitely be removed from your platform however I still would like to send this very special message to whoever reads it before it is deleted so please allow me and I thank you!! Mental health intervention is three words that do not exist in the American culture and the claims of success should be made of among the very fools that say mental illness is a great concern to our country so I question you fools of government is your glorious claim of success within mental illness and intervention based on factual information If so why is the rates of death by suicide climbing to epidemic levels why do Americans choose to leave a world of despair hopelessness and loneliness by suicide because it's the easiest way to say the three words I give up I commend those brave souls for asking for peace of mind in silence I now no longer have to believe in the many fabrications presented before me by your false analogies and perceptions of me I will no longer be ridiculed and dismiss by your fabrications of who I am If the fools of our government are blind and cannot see and labeled in blind If I can no longer hear with my ears then I no longer will be subject to your lies and fabrications about me I can no longer hear you if my sense of smell suddenly falters then I will never be able to smell the scent of roses growing close by label me unable to smell a fragrance I love if my mind tells me I'm broken then cast me away with fools such as you and label me mentally unstable and make the difficulty of trying to explain my fears of hopelessness despair and my well-being do not allow me to express my thoughts of your very broken system of fools created by you the fools once again my question is of government fools insist that we have a successful mental health intervention integrated within our American culture then why are the rates of death by suicide according to your statistics in the or in the largest incline the largest elevation in the history of our country's existence waiting patiently for the answer I'm the fool that's asking the question You are the fools that owe me an explanation!!! I will expect this to be deleted from your platform almost immediately however please read it and then delete it Don't delete it without reading it these are true thoughts straight from my heart!! You owe me nothing and I realize that thank you

This is so real to me I'm 62 years old and I am still in total disbelief that I have had a traumatic brain injury for this many years two of them not one two of them and the entire time up until recently it was always always said to be a mental issue because of my chronic pain for 30 years well certainly I'm depressed certainly I'm anxious I've been in chronic pain for 30 years but no one ever thought about the two times that I was knocked unconscious for long periods of time throughout my life that were always dismissed dismissed doctor says dismissed Dr says again dismissed it's your mental it's your mental it's your mental well then why have I been through 50 or more types of antidepressants and none of them work now you're asking questions that are really good and that's where I began I go to a neurosurgeon who says I see indication of traumatic brain injury all over your medical paperwork here why didn't anyone else see it over the last 30 years it's so disheartening to think of the people that deal with what I deal with in my age group with my condition for so long and chronic pain generally you're in the top statistics of suicide but I choose not to even think of that and a lot of times they will try and try to convince me that's what I'm thinking of I've never been self-harming I've never been suicidal I have too much to live for I have a 7-year-old grandson I do not want that to be his grandfather's legacy but once again they kept on and kept on You know the old saying If someone tells you long enough that it's nothing but it's mental it's in your head then after a while maybe it does become in your head because someone is telling you that If you're locked away and put in a cage without mirrors and fed food all day long 7 days a week and you become very obese and very fat because you have overeating they will tell you since you don't have a mirror oh you're not fat you're not overeating you're not obese you're mentally ill I am so sick of this it makes me absolutely get worse by the day just because these people don't understand this is nothing to do with my serotonin or my whatever whatever or perhaps it is to do with it because I haven't had it for so long due to the part of my brain that's injured that probably doesn't allow me to even think of that I have one traumatic brain injury where I was hit by a tree directly over my right eye which cause massive amounts of stitches in sutures to sew me up and never checked once for any type of brain injury not one time That was in 2009 imagine that it's ridiculous thank you for your show your show is so informative and so truthful some days I'm stupid some days I'm not some days it's mental some days it's not I am so confused over all of this crazy stuff and then I've been seeing mental therapist forever and all of my mental therapists will say I don't see any indication of self-harm I don't see any indication of suicidal ideals so why are the medical doctors the one insisting that I'm mentally ill and keep giving me answer the person after antidepressant after antidepressant and I usually take them cuz trust me I want to get better I want my brain to get better but after taking another one after another one after another one I would say after a while I'm probably intolerant to them they don't work for me and they don't they are a waste of my time as a matter of fact I have been in my deepest darkest moments while on trial for a new antidepressant or an existing antidepressant let's just you was on 10 mg I'm going to bump you up to 30 mg but weight doctor weight doctor I don't need an antidepressant I'm not depressed oh yes you're depressed I promise you are depressed here take 30 mg but doctor the side effects of 10 mg are making me want to jump off of a building I'm shaky I'm nervous I don't feel well as a matter of fact I feel much worse than I did before you put me on your antidepressants no no no it's your it's your mind it's your your very depressed We need to put you on a different type of antidepressant and we'll put you on two supplements this time with it so we'll give you three answers depressants per day and they'll work excuse me doctor sir You antidepressants are not working again Dr Huff Puff Huff Puff Huff and puff no I've told you I'm the doctor you are mentally ill it has nothing to do with your chronic pain issues that you have 100% proof of severed spinal cord cervical neck issues nerve issues along with peripheral neuropathy all types of interactions inside of me that are shutting down my organs due to peripheral neuropathy not mental illness wow where do I go from here any ideas

Thanks. I have a tbi and everything you said is very relatable.

One day I will wake and not see nothing about my brain even if I'm suddenly blind it's better than seeing lies about me because I shudder when I try to tell you I love you ? I'm still said I love you.,!

Well I guess I need to the same things too both of you today even though every single thing you said I can relate to I'm tired of trying to fix everything around me I don't even know how to fix yourself so I hate to even admit to anything or anyone or commit I can't do that no more it's cast out like another moron with a bad headache and can't deal with stresses in life it's just the way it is I wish everyone that thought I was terrible because I have some problems thinking and listening to people but I listen and I do hear you I think people will get upset when it takes me too long to answer them so they just cast me out like a person that doesn't even have a brain anymore and doesn't need one anyway that's why I'm never going to be angry at someone else maybe myself but no one else frustrations are within me should not be within you I guess we should never stop talking just don't let people know you got something wrong here brain that you don't know why but you don't want people to know because then you may be considered a real bad person And if you got PTSD to then you're really really in trouble because that's when you're going to get most of your negative feedback from health care providers because they're going to do everything they can when they make a mistake to turn the narrative around and say this person here with this mental disease this mental disability this mental deflection or affliction or whatever it's called We can just rely on that because we're a health care person provider and we can do anything we need to do to make them shut up All we have to do is rely on their brain and the stupidity that their brain causes them to do even though they won't do it or some of them don't do it that's the way that it's looked at seen it so many times I could write a book about health care disparities within the disabled and it would be a best-seller but the problem is I don't know how to write it in a form that would be almost readable haha lucky people Lucky you that I don't have the ability to process things and put them properly in a paper book or a book cuz then people may realize that you can't learn off of keeping one in total despair about something they had no control over getting You could be a little kinder and a little gentler especially on the scale of healthcare because isn't that what I trust you for My health care to take care of me through my sickness to take care of me and to understand me instead of ridiculing me and making me continually over and over and over look so stupid well you know like the way I am stupid right I hate narratives that are formed in me I hate the narratives worse than the ring damage itself I hate that narratives but there again I can't say hate about anyone anything any place anytime because of that's expressing the way I feel and they were just kindly dismiss it and tie you down to the chair again metaphorically speaking of course I've never been tied down to a chair I'm just saying that's metaphorically speaking no one probably can believe that someone like me used a word like metaphorically but then again I might be using it in the wrong context today or tomorrow but I might remember the next day I don't know I apologize for my stupidity Peace out to all kind loving people out there I know that you're still around I know you are I see you only when I dream now not in reality whoops I better be careful someone might say I'm I'm delusional because I dream of a better tomorrow for people with brain injury I better shut up now

I got to the point that i stopped trying to get others to understand. I started thinking about what Jesus said.Love your neighbor as yourself and so you have to love yourself in order to love others.So I stop trying to be people pleaser. Because you're a fear of people please.Are you open yourself up for abuse?And our heavenly father doesn't want us to be abused. You can love. Your neighbor as yourself but you gotta love yourself first. And that requires accepting what happened to you and and if other people can't understand well, it's not your problem. You're doing your guess and that's all that God has from ybut believe me, prayer helps. It really does especially when you feel this terrible motion coming on. You have to stop and you have to say oh, please give me the strength to keep ongoing or please help calm my heart or please help me with my thoughts. Oh, God, please. I need your strength. Because people never really understand what's going to your head.Even your counselor may not understand but our heavenly father.It does and he realizes that we're imperfect

After my car accident and I had a concussion, I was flooding. I couldn't handle anybody talking to me. I couldn't handle asnoises even in apartment anywhere. I hate it hearing people talk. I felt like running away like get me on here. Get me out of here and it was how and people thought I was crazy and I thought I was crazy and then I went to a stage where I would sit there and I wouldn't get any housework done nothing for weeks. I forgot how to days I forgot. I'll do that and I thought what the heck is wrong. Just it's not me. What I hated is people saying oh you should have more self control. There are times when you try so hard and it just doesn't work. But as time goes on it gets better and when you can see some changes that our positive you feel so happy that you have at least seen the light at the end of the tunnel. Once thing that happened to me I started learning a different language and I started liking a different culture and learning the music. One thing that is wonderful is that you're never at a stage where you're not changing or not getting better.It just takes time there is still hope. I hate the Trying as if I was some continental basket case. Once you have a concussion, you are never the same person.It's almost like you're Morf into a different person.

I had to give up the model car building hobby I used to love but I no longer enjoy it due to my TBI issues.... Now I feel less than because I can no longer build model cars... Sad😢...

I can’t pick up or lift anything much right now without major symptoms - even lifting the facet lever creates awful issues. I can’t walk much either etc bc of PCs. It’s really a tough spot I’m in bc has injury but got super sick lost tons of weight and in bed and so my compensation I build up was destroyed.

I just found out yesterday that I have a TBI from a car accident 2 months ago today. Your video encompasses everything I have been experiencing since the impact. Thank you very much for this insightful and honest feedback, you have helped me understand I’m not alone ❤ I’m struggling to learn who this new person is that I’ve become 😢

When do you have the support group, date, time, frequency, and how can I join? Thanks
