Coma Support Group
A coma is a profound state of unconsciousness. A comatose patient cannot be awakened, fails to respond normally to pain or light, does not have sleep-wake cycles, and does not take voluntary actions. Coma may result from a variety of conditions, including intoxication, metabolic abnormalities, central nervous system diseases, and hypoxia.
I sleep fine now, I still have a couple physical health issues but this is from the car crash not the coma. I am happier with a simple life, no dramas. I don't socialise like I used to, work and home and a visit with a few friends, my world and comfort zone has shrunk considerably. I also don't have many close family, but I force myself to go out, things like shopping in the local town and the odd craft exhibition or meal with a friend. I still feel incredibly anxious, nervous in public, scared sometimes close to panic in completely normal situations but I have to ignore these feelings and push through because I would just end up in the house and not dare go out....at all.
Just try and remember you are a survivor, that's something to be proud of so be kind to yourself and don't be so hard on yourself, you're still fabulous!
