    • I’m With You

      From dontwantyoutoknow Sunday

    • Prayer

      From tbiKelly September 26

      better, I'm Kelly a twelve year post survivor, rec therapist and massage therapist. The things you are experiencing are completely normal for what I'm going to cal a newbie. Sleep is one of life and natures' greatest healers. The brain has had a shock to its system and it's boss/director, the Central Nervous system is trying to help it heal by controlling some of its' actions like telling you you are tired or sleepy. The dizziness to also called vertigo is part of the healing process. It is ther vertigo sensation that causes many survivors to have balance issues and the drs and PTs make us walk with quad canes or walkers. You need to take a six week vacation, do not stress over school issues and just rest, rest ,rest. Depending on which side of your head received the hardest impact, you might experience some opposite side motot function impairment. For instance my closed head injury was right side temporal lobe and for about 8 weeks I couldn't move my left hand or fingers. To this day I can't snap my fingers and walk with a gait imbalance. I don't perceive it but others do. Can we be friends?

      I cut and burn, sometimes beat myself. I do it for loads of reasons, but normally it's to punish myself

      Treatments

      Prozac Not Working
      It never really worked for my SI, like i still did it, but i suppose just not as often.

      It didn't really work too well, i just can't talk, or open up at all.
    • Close Sexual Abuse

    • Open Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I was diagnosed with clinical depression nearly a year ago. I think its sort of stupid. There is no reason for me to feel this misserable all the time. But i honestly can't control it. I never let people know about it unless they are very very close to me. I am very ashamed of this, along with my SI

      Treatments

      Prozac Not Working
      I was taking it and it evened me out for a while, like i wasn't happy but i wasn't misserable. Then it stopped working.
      Psychotherapy Not Working
      I tryed it before. But it didn't work, cause i can't open up to people face to face.
      Writing Somewhat Helpful
      Use to do it more, not as much now.
