I was struck/sideswiped by a pickup truck on my bike at the age of 17. I sustained a TBI. I'm 54 now, and I see drastic changes in my personality and behavior. Moreso than I have in the past. Obviously there's changes in my brain going on. It's difficult not only for me, but for others as well. I get frustrated so easily with things. I go into meltdown mode at sudden, simple changes.
It’s permanent Hell! I have a Severe Traumatic Brain Injury and I can 100% attest! It’s literally mind blowing, I forget everyday and important things like finances and everything! Got anxiety and depression and retrograde amnesia and Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s all at once? I’m someone different everyday and have no idea what I did a lot, it’s Hell
Same. I almost died because of mine. I was hit by a car, the bumper struck my head knocking me unconscious upon impact. Remained that way and unresponsive on life support for a few days. But I forget everything now. It is so hard. I’m diagnosed with severe depression, among other things, my family don’t help me, I lost my place cause I had other injuries as well and can’t work. Disability keeps denying me, I’m now homeless. It’s just hard. So I just want you to know you are not alone. I can’t remember names, numbers, I can’t even tell you what I ate this morning 🤦🏾♂️
@@IamKingFace1 the violence of the official classes, i.e. professionals in medicine and law etc.., is focused upon those of us with brain injuries. treatment by counseling and medications only hasten our decline into the death trap of homelessness and criminalization. the entire society is criminally insane. and it's so bad that even the Christian church is out to get in on the kill.
Did you get any financial assistance from government? My son was also hit by an uninsured driver and my insurance does not want to help him with his rehab. Thanks for any information
i got a tbi 3 years ego acident car and i do the things your studens do i can be so happy and suddenly i can be so mad anger violenty im tired everday is a fight i don t want to be violenty or get anger fast but happen everday is something you can t control when i get angry the people get away from me i don t know is like a drug you feel a lot adrenaline in your body and before i was so diferent sometimes i don t want go out
You don’t get a traumatic brain injury, it’s a provoked event, you cannot ‘get’ a provoked event. What you mean is you have a student who in the past suffered from a traumatic brain injury.
I had a TBI back in March. I’m left with sequencing and attention memory problems and loss of smell. I’m now noticing that I’m hypersensitive to certain noises and certain peoples voices if too loud.
I don't think after 6 yrs. I get along with ppl... I seek out other TBI Vic's. I get along with them really good. Obviously I get understanding from them.
I was assaulted in 2019 on the job this tbi has flipped my world upside down. I am high compulsive easily explosive short term memory going attention span gone don’t like being around people even family at social gatherings over fear of being judged and ridiculed and made fun of. I am unable to return to work do to me injury. All I want to do is isolate I am also on guard when in public of being assaulted when I come in contact with anyone I deem a threat
I hear you. Loud and clear. Just went thru a super creepy, angry phase made even worse by quitting smoking. Ugh! Best wishes to you. I know a lot about treating these injuries that doctors do not. And yet there remains much to be done.
Thinking is slower and therefore speech pattern is slower also. Sometimes I intentionally speak slower so that the silence between my thoughts isn’t so prominent. It’s like I anticipate that I’m going to lose my train of thought as soon as I start speaking, so I pace myself.
My husband has a TBI and Post Concussion Syndrome, his inability to communicate is the worst thing to happen to him. He has been discharged from doctors because of the symptoms of a TBI. Sad day for my baby. Richard... DON'T FUCKIN STOP FIGHTING FOR US!! You were a WARRIOR in the military !!!! Richard I will never leave you alone. I won't abandon you because you are injured. I HAVE YOUR 6 Ann Your wife
I suffered 3 severe traumatic brain injuries at 16 no signs of life etc. I am now have refractory commorbidity one of my doctors statements. Very long story short i feel extremely lucky to be alive still , I can 100% tell everyone you are never the same person as before the brain damage and rehabilitation etc while effective and totally respected will never ever bring back alot of things which honestly torments me the most it twists and turns inside me like a boa constricter choking its prey. The only similarities is the snake gets a meal i and many many other people eventually after 14 pages of every medication not working and every treatmentt course and therapy becoming inconconclusive and no solution. I drew a big line in the sand which tells me that this is it i died at 16 and this body i occupy now has a stranger inside it. ( so much more $$$ and research to understtanding our extremely powerful and exceptional brains which shouldnt be overly medicated or be subjected to things like ECT. - WE ALL NEED HELP SICK HEALTHY OR JUST BEING BORN. )
ditto. the entire characterological system goes haywire such that one can nolonger recognize oneself in the mirror. the entire system of self is transformed. and medications by and large only serve to make things worse. I finally found a successful treatment protocol butr with this "intermittent explosive disorder" causing me all manner of trouble, I'm thinking of using beta blockers and neuroleptics on a part time basis so as to curb extremes while avoiding the problem of medications making the underlying injury far worse. it's like walking a tight rope. I used to smoke, only to learn that this was causing me harm "in the spirit" as they say. Who knew? Cigarettes contain a hidden drug known as a pyrazine which makes them addictive as effective psych-drugs. So getting off of tobacco entails finding a replacement psych drug. used episodically is the key as otherwie tolerance, dependancy and addiction spell disaster. so many difficulties to negotiate I wish you the best and thank you for taking the time to share your experience. n.
6/19/22-11/2/22 was my hospital stay. Grade 3 diffuse axonal injury. Unconscious majority of the time. Myself I’ve recovered unlike most. Personality wise I don’t think I have changed although I do get frustrated easier at times and less accepting of people with mental issues
Absolutely 💯 I was17 when I sustained a TBI after I was sideswiped on my bike by a pickup truck. He was going about 40-45mph. I broke a few bones in my face and also lost some teeth. I shattered my left patella, and my lower back. I'm 54 now, and I notice great changes in my behavior and personality. More now than ever.
I am so sorry. This can happen. Earlier on Darrels injury, we had a behavioral issue. It took about 5 years fir that process to STOP! We now live a quiet daily life. Hand in there. Keep fighting the fight.
I just went thru a few weeks of morbid depressive mania. Like a rollercoaster that ends with a hard crash. With this experience in mind, I could not agree with you more.
Neuro endocrine dysfunction is common after TBI, most doctors are a decade behind with this area of knowledge and testing. Neuro endocrine dysfunction also affects gut health, which the gut regulates serotonin and other neuro chemicals. Look up neuro endocrinologist Dr. Wexler from NYU-Langone.
The fact that you are speaking upon an injury and symptoms of it. Why don't you look into the symptoms and how to cure them instead of talking about them. Because, listen this is upsetting, that you didn't even try to maybe invest in research and just want to make a buck. Maybe talk about something more why the injury happened and why they didn't document any concussions. Sorry, you're kids are young. Maybe understand how the impact what 2023 and not doing any researching is doing.

yup
Yep. I received my first TBI when I was 4. I"m 47 now and my temper continues to get shorter by the day.
Symptoms coming back is Hell 2.0, no one listens to concerns
It’s permanent Hell! I have a Severe Traumatic Brain Injury and I can 100% attest! It’s literally mind blowing, I forget everyday and important things like finances and everything!

I’ll remember recordings? But not saying or doing what I did or said, I’m thinking about Heaven
Maybe I’m slow? Couldn’t tell you, because I don’t feel that way,

After I got mine the people that left me told me I was like alien . Because I was a new person
Thank you for sharing!! I was hit by an uninsured drunk driver March 2020! It didn't take too long for my coworkers to tell me I have changed.
Yeah. I heard a lot of the “don’t even recognize her anymore” stuff and that was painful.
Did you get any financial assistance from government? My son was also hit by an uninsured driver and my insurance does not want to help him with his rehab. Thanks for any information
Don't worry. God bless u
I almost died because of mine. I even feel different and almost everyone I know has left me. I now have an extremely short fuse.
Even worse is when you finally communicate that is WHY everyone continues to ignore you, even docs
WTH!
Because you look "normal".. the same things happen to me
We hear you. 🤝🫡
im a disaster. i dont even know who i am anymore after my accident
I feel this.
What is your symptoms?
I have a student with TBI. He will sit and color a picture calmly and happily and then, without any warning, breaks his crayons and throws a chair...😬
i got a tbi 3 years ego acident car and i do the things your studens do i can be so happy and suddenly i can be so mad anger violenty im tired everday is a fight i don t want to be violenty or get anger fast but happen everday is something you can t control when i get angry the people get away from me i don t know is like a drug you feel a lot adrenaline in your body

I HAVE YOUR 6
Ann
Your wife
You are a real mother

Great girl.
I have a TBI is there a hope for me to get better
My husband feels the same way.
He says many times why 22 veterans with a TBI go out of here.
My husband is a proud veteran with a TBI.
I had an issue with the apartment complex I live in and my" hulk" came out immediately.. Ruined my morning!!
I have a tbi 8 year now hopefully I recover before year coz I miss a lot of work. Friend. And my love one from Philippines
I suffered 3 severe traumatic brain injuries at 16 no signs of life etc.

All of this is true
Can the personality change show up 22 years larer after?
Absolutely 💯 I was17 when I sustained a TBI after I was sideswiped on my bike by a pickup truck. He was going about 40-45mph. I broke a few bones in my face and also lost some teeth. I shattered my left patella, and my lower back. I'm 54 now, and I notice great changes in my behavior and personality. More now than ever.
Yup. I didn't develop Epilepsy after nearly a year later.
there are no viable "treatment options" nor any such thing as a "roadmap." these self annointed and appointed "experts" are the kiss of death.
Our person turned into a monster.
I am so sorry. This can happen. Earlier on Darrels injury, we had a behavioral issue. It took about 5 years fir that process to STOP!
We now live a quiet daily life.
Hand in there. Keep fighting the fight.
❤❤❤
Tbi 's could be mistaken for a like bi polar behavioral defects?
I just went thru a few weeks of morbid depressive mania. Like a rollercoaster that ends with a hard crash.
With this experience in mind, I could not agree with you more.
🙏
😢
what if there was a reason for the mood change?
Even if there’s a reason sometimes it doesn’t match the severity of the mood.

many times it can't be cured since the brain has suffered an injury, there is no way to reverse what has occurred, can only try to deal with it
Welcome to my world,...😖😣😩😫😵😵💫 Fifty years TBI. Life is a bitch then you die'.
