Hammondm99, exactly the same for me! Nearly every word! And I also find that when I am ina difficult way...family and friends may scoff and belittle my mentioning a TBI, because, you know I look so good and it couldn't possibly be that hard.........they do not have a clue what it is like to be dizzy, lightheaded and unfocused and lurchy every single day for most or all of that day no matter what I am doing. Or how tiring the effort to continually cover it up is........or how sick I get in every single store, or event all the time. Sometimes buying our groceries is such an effort that I feel like I will not make it the ten miles home to the lake. But you understand and the others here understand and our mentors get it .......that helps immeasureably. Thank you all for being here.
