It’s so strange
I can never fully express what it’s like living with a tbi and the recovery, nothing ever sounds right, all the words feel wrong.
It’s like I’m transcribing a language dead and gone, all the words I have to say you don’t understand, you don’t have the words for what I felt, you don’t have any conjugations or phrases that equate to my grief. so I’m just left saying,
“It was bad”
I think ppl tend to brush over the loneliness of brain trauma and how isolating it is to be recovering from a tbi (traumatic brain injury)
I've been in recovery for 2yrs and something I don't think ppl fully understand is how when ur trying to “move on” and “go back to normal”, your body doesn't move like your body anymore.
It doesn't feel like your body anymore.
There is nothing more devastating than trying live your life in a body that doesn't feel like yours or work like the body you once had. Like how tf do you expect me to move on when my limbs don't feel like my limbs?!
You're left mourning the death of the body you once had and no one else sees or knows how disconnected from yourself you feel.
Brain damage sucks
