Severe TBI from car crash, now severe social indifference
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) | Last Active: Nov 25, 2025 | Replies (24)Comment receiving replies
I hear ya bro, 16/Nov I was involved in a head on hit n run...My car had to be totaled by the insurance company..I was diagnosed with moderate to severe concussion.
I have a lot of the symptoms listed in these posts.
Disorientation, nausea, dizziness, some problems with bright lights, depression is big time.
I volunteer at my church as a live steaming camera operator but asked to be taken off schedule, I don't wanna get sll dizzy and fall of my camera position.
Last night I got enraged at my Ipad and broke it half.
Anger and rage not like I 've felt before are present. Yup suicide is a ever present evil thought...yea, maybe I'd be better off dead.
I'm 71 no family, not married and not as many pals as before.
I feel ya bro...messed up in Honolulu my home....

@traub I'm not a doctor but have had friends with concussions and it can cause mean one second and tranquil 5 minuets later. one let it go and lost his marriage to it. that was a sad day. he was so gifted with what he could do to a piece of wood and his thinking was noticeably changed. i will send both of you my prayers for an answer to your problems and to get well soon..... prayers sent. have a blessed evening.

Depending on the part of the brain affected and the severity of the injury, people who suffered a traumatic brain injury can experience changes in personality including a range to indifference to anger.
@traub, I'm sorry to hear that the TBI means you had to stop volunteering at the church because the live streaming camera operation exposed you to too much stimulation. You were wise to reduce that stimulation. I hope with rehab you'll be able to return to volunteering again.
At the moment, it sounds like you've got some things you want to deal with from anger, depression and feeling suicidal. It's hard to deal with these things on your own. Have you connected with the Brain Injury Association-Hawaii https://biausa.org/find-bia/hawaii to get support?
