@football84, welcome. I hope you saw the helpful post from @kayabbott. I'm also tagging fellow TBI members like @sundance6 @hevykevy @gregd1956 @ricj @lanieg to add to this discussion.
@football84, can you share more about your experience with irritability? I can imagine this is affecting your relationships or interactions with others. What approaches do you try to not irritated or have a short fuse?

@colleenyoung It has been a rocky road.
Once when an engineer Falsified Certification on a system that I was a team member of, and the manager above went with it and started shipping defective products I took the engineer and grabbed him by both wrists and picked him up and jammed his head through the ceiling acoustic tiles. Then I threatened to kill the manager “stone cold dead”. Amazingly everyone in the team came behind me and the manager was demoted and the engineer assigned to another project. Sadly it was not feasible to solve all the issues and recall after recall ensued

I don't know if it would be helpful, but my TBI was 30 years ago. I had just finished the intro for my doctoral dissertation, went rollerblading, and woke up in ER. I documented the stages of recovery of my head injury while writing my dissertation. I'd be glad to clean it up (haven't read it in years) if you think it would be of use to others. I finished my PhD and was a research scientist. Rewiring is easier if you live in your brain.
