Adult Life after a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Since I had one which took 2 1/2 years of therapies 5 days a week, all day ( sure nothing like that now, due to changes in health insurance to the worse) - I have alot of lessons which, if I remember them, help me now. The biggest that relates to this blog is what I call "false depression". The chemicals in my brain hijack my true feelings. Not a thought can be negative etc - BUT I feel depressed, angry, and on edge while having a very short attention span. The new accident happened in April - and still no therapies. I feel in a body-mind cage. Does anyone know any good resources for TBI - probably " mild-moderate" from a dr. view - but for me, the world has caved in - with no lifeboats anywhere. Know any resources? Thanks.

Hi @caroleeuits, you'll notice that I moved your post about traumatic brain injury to this existing discussion. I did this so that you can connect with @dawnpereda @kw1904861 @treyaj @lakelifelady @oceanfun1 @micekja @willbc and others. Click VIEW & REPLY to scroll through the past messages.
I'm so sorry to hear that you had a new head injury this past April. That in itself is frustrating enough. I'm sure others here will relate to the "false depression," anger and short attention span symptoms that you're experiencing.
One of my go-to TBI resources is the Brain Injury Association of America: https://www.biausa.org/
