    • About Me

      Jesus is the Savior of my soul. Ever since the illness and brain injury it has been a very lonely journey losing all my real life friends. But Jesus has never let go of my hand and I am forever thankful for His love and friendship, it keeps me going. I don't really know how to deal with all the limitations of an acquired brain injury and getting back to normal life is this insurmountable mountain to me right now, but I'll get there eventually because of God's grace. I do hope I get some practical advice and ideas on how to be able to function more everyday. I can't seem to function without interacting with people in real life, and the injury wiped out my social life completely so its the hardest part. But then I'm coming to know that Jesus means more to me now than anything else in the world. And all of Him is more than enough for all of me. I've had to re-learn lots of stuff, from walking to speech to reading and writing. I even had a long phase where I was almost like an autistic child mentally. It's been a strange experience. It makes me appreciate life more. It also made me so much more sensitive to children and people with special needs. Because I have been there and know what its like. Life is full of challenges now. I want to face it but I somehow haven't been able to, hopefully this time it will change...

      Brain injury survivor... I'm here because i'm totally and completely overwhelmed and thought it would be nice to connect with people & understand stuff. i need help in understanding what is and has been happening to me and how to deal with it practically. Also i was sexually abused while in a coma like state, and then again when i was more conscious. I wish some doctors could give me some advice on how to deal with this. Or if you know anyone else who has been through a similar experience
