Interesting that you mention "Accept your current limitations..." This is one that has been a hard lesson for me. Maybe because I have physical injuries in addition to my TBI, but I think this applies to both. I will be working on a project, and find that I have know way of knowing what my limitations are until I have gone past them, and even then sometimes not till that evening, or the next morning. With TBI I feel fatigue, and more often than not, I pay attention to it. I often sit down for a few minutes of rest after lunch. Then when I wake up...Sleeping is my super power, I go back to what I was doing. At times though I am feeling pretty good or under pressure to get something done, wear myself out. A drive to Duluth and back in one day is exhausting mentally.

Hey HevyKevy I so agree with you about recognizing my limitations soon enough, and I always pay for it when I don’t. My entire trip to Washington state at Thanksgiving was too much for me, and I didn’t realize it till the night before I left. We had just returned from another day full of fun, and I opened up my iPad and saw that Lil BUB had died. I burst into tears, crying harder than I had in a long time. Confusing the hell out of my brother and his wife. Startled me, too.
