How are people doing with TBI recovery?
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) | Last Active: Jul 13, 2023 | Replies (23)Comment receiving replies
I am still having trouble with accepting mental limitations even though I have developed work arounds. I am finding that I have mounting rage and frustration that leave me furious. It seems I find things I can’t do, that I could do before. One In particular is my mathematical skills. I seem to discover new things all the time. What is frustrating is that I don’t know, what I don’t know.
How do you cope? I have no acceptance only rage and fear it is CTE!

It took me 1.5 years to accept/realize this was the new me and I had to work with what I have. I kept a log of my recovery. With brain damage we keep finding new parts of us that are missing, so the healing/pain is continuous. Work arounds are important, and escapes even more so. You have lost a lot, and it is good to focus on your strenghts. What do you have an need. It is a journey we all must do alone (hopefully with help).
