"That is very, very good advice. If I worried about yesterday, I be so depressed that I couldn't function.
Any sort of socialization is good. But you do have to watch what you say. I would say the first thing that popped into my head, and it…"

BARB GEORGE replied to Ty Daly's discussion What was it that finally let you accept yourself?"I just want to remind you that while what Michael said about doing things she ENJOYED might be fun, be prepared that some of those things she may not be able to do any more. The different cognitive aspects of life can make it really hard, and…"
Michael Buckner replied to Ty Daly's discussion What was it that finally let you accept yourself?"Ty, the first thing I say to myself every morning I wake up is that today's a new day and not worry about yesterday. Megan should look at her life now as more of a gift and to enjoy it. I mean she could do something as simple as…"
deborah clonch-elliott replied to Ty Daly's discussion What was it that finally let you accept yourself?"The most difficult part of brain trauma is not being able to explain it to my children. I've changed so much and family and long time friends don't know me anymore. The impulsiveness the out of character person I've…"
Glen Brist replied to Ty Daly's discussion What was it that finally let you accept yourself?"Well said, Barb ~ Ty this is all true....please read what I wrote to Mary, and then I read what Barb wrote and almost cried..... Things do not have to be the same as they were,,,, I too kept a log of things …"
BARB GEORGE replied to Ty Daly's discussion What was it that finally let you accept yourself?"Hi Megan! Hi Ty!
The journey called TBI is not one I would wish on myself, or anyone...but it IS do-able. It isn't simple, but then, most things truly of worth, are simple. It can be painful--if you are dealing with…"
Glen Brist replied to Ty Daly's discussion What was it that finally let you accept yourself?"Ty, that is a very good question.... I look back and it seems to me that my greatest help came from the hospital rehab.... after i woke up, I really never was given a chance to realize all my…"
Geo Gosling replied to Ty Daly's discussion What was it that finally let you accept yourself?"Well, You don't have much choice really. I mean you either kill yourself or accept yourself. What else can you do? Nothing really. I do not recommend killing yourself. Repeat: I do not recommend killing yourself. I was suicidal for years, but…"
Debbie Wilson replied to Ty Daly's discussion Somebody dear to me has a TBI"Ty good luck and I send this with you. You Are Not Alone I would never remember your name but I am aware of who you are, It is hard to be happy when we only concentrate on the thorns.

Richard J replied to Ty Daly's discussion What was it that finally let you accept yourself?"Megan, of course you are a "new" personbut you will get better.Everyday is a new day.

Ty Daly posted a discussionWhat was it that finally let you accept yourself?
What happened? What was your thinking process? What was it that finally let you become okay with the new person you are? What realization did you make? The reason I ask, is because somebody dear to me is struggling mightily with her TBI. Megan is 4 years out and feels her life is hopeless and she will never get better. She doesn't know who she is anymore and doesn't know what to do with her life. She has not accepted herself yet, she is depressed. So if you could tell your own story of…See More
Ty Daly replied to Ty Daly's discussion Somebody dear to me has a TBI"One last thing to ask of the community here... if you could say one thing to my girlfriend (Megan) to try and help her get through this experience, what would it be? Things have been particularly rough lately, and I think a motivational message from…"
Geo Gosling replied to Ty Daly's discussion Somebody dear to me has a TBI"Yeah, that healing "window" is total B.S. The books these doctors read may tell them that, but it's total BS and I wish they wouldn't say it. My TBI occurred in 1995 and my brain is still re-wiring. I still see changes. They may…"
Richard J replied to Ty Daly's discussion Somebody dear to me has a TBI"Let me say this if "doctors tell her that the healing window is basically closed"... they are dead wrong. It never stops. I'm just over 8 years and I know that I am still healing and that my brain is still re-wiring itself. Why…"
