Welcome to this group and to the recovery process. As a 2 year old survivor, you have many new wonderful years still to come. My injury happened 20+ years ago, the first year was ugly because of short term memory, aphasia, emotions... you name it, I had those problems. In-person speech & occupational therapy sessions werr really important, but it was family, friends, co-workers who helped me more. Yes, even co-workers. I didn't lose my job but because of aphasia and memory issues my job wasn't actually the same. but close enough. Part of my pre-injury job was teaching computer software for staff in the library I worked at, but couldn't handle 12-20 "students", but could teach one to one instead. During year 2, I was able to work full-time again, and thinking I'm getting better. A big thing that helped, and still helping, is being my own advocate. Which meant telling other people about not just my traumatic brain injury but, since brain injuries are often called the silent injury, talking about other survivors as well. I can't tell you how many times, after a aphasia or short-term memory issue, I heard somebody say "that happens to me all time too" or call it a "senior moment". Bull crap, it's not about that. To continue to recover from aphasia: I play my favorite music records (or CD's) all the time, especially in the car, and sing the lyrics with the band; talk back to reporters when listening/watching news channels on the radio or television. For short-term memory? New hobbies: I bought a mandolin to learn a play an instrument; started growing vegetable gardens; found plans and made a pinhole camera for film photography.

In my humble opinion, don't focus on your losses, focus instead on what you haven't lost. Let your long-term (working/muscle) memory guide you for recovery. Find something you never did before, but have thought about doing before. And above all, don't let your injury define you. Believe in yourself.
