8 months ago i had this brain injury and it has destroyed valuable IQ, personal mentalities and ideas. Brain damage has caused me to think and interpret things differently, lose my past mindset and personality changes. I used to be over conscious and suspicious, introverted, paranoid, serious, think things more practically and logically, think a lot constantly and very untalkative. But now I am more "loosened up", casual, joke around more, carefree, talkative about almost nothing of any siginificance and interpret and think things more emotionally than logically. My IQ was always at least above 95% of the population regardless of being unofficial school IQ tests to official ones. But now i dont even dare to think about my intellectual level. Before, i would be considered as a "geek" interested in psycology, history and politics but now im not really interested in anything complicated but superficial, simple-pleasure crap like guns or swords because less is required as intellectual fulfilment. I also used to be one of those considered "clever sillies" (http://www.citeulike.org/user/rt111/article/6753400I). I probably sound cocky and therefore annoying to any reader but you should realise by now i am in no mood to be boasting to irrelevant strangers but am just trying to express how big of a contrast and painful loss i got from just one brain injury. Seriously what should I do? I dont want to accept i will always be inferior to my past in everything i do if i hadnt got that injury and lived on. I also feel humiliated. I also feel humiliated because personality/IQ/mindset change means a change in my identity. It is like living as someone else yet representing the same myself because i am completely different in mentality and thus whole person from before my injury. It is also insulting to my genes that i have become totally different from it and destroyed its effects.

It is difficult to understand from a non Traumatic Brain Injury sufferer the physical affects/impacts of a severe enough brain injury. It changes your whole person because ‘you are your brain’ so damage in the brain will change almost every characteristic (although accept your physical appearance obviously). Anyway, maybe im confusing because brain injury means problems in common sense, understanding and expressing ideas (so i maybe unclear on how to make my writing interpretable/perceivable from everyone else) but please tell me what i should do.

But seriously what should I do? I can live with anything other than this. Medical help is useless at this severity of brain damage and time of recovery unless there’s some way of creating a miracle from stem cells but i understand nothing about that. I am a Christian but unsure if God really will heal me. Anyway, even if i dont worry about it this brain injury is still causing me trouble at school because i find it difficult even to understand simple things. Do you think death is best because I am not afraid of pain and death but only still living because delusionally still feel a tiny hope that i can still recover from this. Anyway, please give me some ideas about what to do especially christians please
first answerer, be serious – i dont see whats the point of being silly other than getting 2 points

I know this is long but this is a personal issue that is literally life-changing to me. Please read this carefully and answer me seriously. You can ask me questions you need to know in order to answer my question and I will reply ASAP on ‘additional notes’. This isn’t just 2/10 points but one of my life’s most needed information because permanent brain damage will affect every decision in my life, personality (identity) and success. I cannot write how grateful i will be if I get a conclusion in this today.

I had a mild traumatic brain injury in 2009 october and it still hasn’t completely healed. At the moment if a slight external force touches my head I get noticeable symptoms immediately. 3 days ago a random pedestrian passing by hit his umbrella at the back of my head (one of its fins) and I still have symptoms now such as exaggerated brightness (including this computer screen at the moment), changed mentalities in judgement, temporary dizziness/light-headedness in mornings and increased typing errors. I confirm these to be reliable and not inmagined because no one can deny changes in how they feel (especially if they find daylight or TV so bright they cant even see) and think. One month ago someone threw something (perhaps a pen because i didnt notice) at my head and from then onwards my nerves going to my eyes/eyebrows feel exhausted constantly and stings (still present). I cannot even pull up fully one of my eyebrows. That’s probably already permanent in itself. That shows how weak my brain tissues are since they even get damaged from shockwaves of a pen or umbrella.

When I got the TBI 8 months ago, I felt constant absentnessless/light-headedness and short memory loss (never knew from natural intuition what day of the week or month it was). My intuition was so weak that I couldn’t even construct grammatically-correct sentences and it took my like hours to write one page. Right now that 8 months feels like a few days (i dont know if literally) because i went through it absent-mindedly.

My memory at the moment is still poor that i cant feel what day of the week it is unless i thought logically or if someone told me. I feel permanent mentality changes still from before my injury and find difficulties in understanding easy and what should be instinctive abstract ideas (although that is getting better gradually). Still, at the moment what should be understood subconciously by intuition i have to replace by logical thinking in small steps in order to do the same problem solving.

I ask those whose field has something to do with TBIs give me an estimate just based on what I have covered the percentage chance of me ending up with ANY subtle permanent brain damage at all.

I’m currently on a low-carb high protein diet – this is my third week. And the one thing I realised that I’m finding hard is to get over that peckish feeling. I realised that I don’t eat because I’m hungry, I eat because… well, just because I’m feeling peckish. I can’t remember the last time I ate because I was actually hungry. I have breakfast, because, you’re supposed to have breakfast.. same goes for lunch and dinner. But it’s not because I feel hungry. And then on top of the 3 meals a day, I feel peckish! But I’m not actually hungry.

Like tonight! It’s Friday night. It’s almost 8pm here. I have the house to myself – the little one’s asleep and my husband’s away this weekend… I’m actually in girly bliss and can’t wait to put on a chickflick and just enjoy the time alone – something I never get.

Alas, how can I watch a movie without a lovely glass of wine or a bowl of popcorn! It’s just not the same!

In the 3 weeks of being on this diet, I’ve only managed to lose 3lbs… in fact my weight kept going up and down. The first week I lost 2lbs, then I put 1/2lb back on, then I lost that 1/2lb.. you get the idea. It’s been annoying and frustrating. I even exercise 5-6 times a week now, doing interval training on rowing machine and spinning bike (I can’t run because of a leg injury – from running!) as well as weights (with a personal trainer).

Despite my best efforts, I can’t seem to lose any more weight – mind you it’s only been 3 weeks but it’s frustrating!!

And here I am tonight, thinking "should I continue ‘torturing’ myself with this food plan? Or should I just have my glass of wine and bowl of popcorn and really enjoy my one night off?" The thing is, having anything else, to substitute, just isn’t the same. Like, don’t tell me to have a cucumber with salt.. or raisins… I WANT THE POPCORN AND WINE… my question is, HOW can I get over this feeling? I think this is the ROOT of my eating problem. If there’s a way to ‘rewire’ my brain to not want popcorn and wine when watching a movie, I’d love to hear it! THANKS!

Hi,

I’ve just received notice that someone whom I was involved in an accident with back in 2004 has made a personal injury claim against me. The accident was deemed my fault and the insurance company duly paid up. How can this guy suddenly decide 6 years down the line he’s going to make a claim against me?
My actual questions are:
- Will i have to pay out of my own pocket should the claimant win his claim
- Isn’t there a 3 year limit on personal injury claims?

Should i seek representation myself for this or just put them on to my (then) insurers?

any help would be gratefully received!
