I was 7 years old when I sustained a Traumatic Brain Injury while I was running to cross the street I fell and hit the curb. The second Traumatic Brain Injury was sustained when I was 21 years old, I was involved in a motorcycle.
Things that have helped me have been the support of my mother and the Traumatic Brain Injury Peer Support Group meetings. Developing strategies such as using post it notes and phone alarm reminders. I have trouble multi tasking so I need to really focus on one thing at a time. Communicating with others is very difficult especially if they are speaking really fast. My short-term memory loss has been a real barrier for me.
What I would like the community to know about Traumatic Brain Injury is that you can’t tell by looking at a person if he has a brain injury so be more patient with people with brain injuries or any disability.

Trash Can

I feel like my life went into the trash. Everything in my life changed. I don’t want people to feel sorry for me I just want more understanding. You shouldn’t judge people by their appearance, because you can’t tell they have had a brain injury by looking at them.

When the day is finally over I can finally rest and I can stop stressing over trying to do the things that I can’t do that others can.
