Thank you for reaching out. I am so sorry you have to go through this. I can honestly say, the first 2 years after my surgery were the hardest. I had crippling anxiety for a while after surgery. The only thing that has gotten me through this is my faith. I do not know what you believe in, but God loves you and you can lean on him.
Give yourself grace. You had major surgery. Part of your brain was removed. It is going to take time for you to feel somewhat like yourself again. You will get your life back! Hopefully you can go back to nursing. Don’t lose hope. I will be praying for you.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I know how hard this is. You got this!

@jkenser thank you. I do have faith as well but have struggled more after this I think because of my anger and have had a hard time with the changes and uncertainty. It gives me some comfort to know that I’m not the only one that has had these struggles this far out. Thank you for your reply!
