About Me

Age: 41

Gender: Male

Hello, my name is Alexander. I’m 36 years old. I’m recovering from a TBI 3 years ago. It occurred to me because of mixing booze with meds that I was prescribed. I had done one dose and felt nothing, did my second dose and literally woke up in a hospital bed 1.5 months later with absolutely no recollection of why I was there or what had even occurred. I’m just trying to figure out how to get back into a kitchen, chef jacket & toque. I’m ungodly passionate about cuisine, cooking, seasonality, & travel. The finest doctors in this field have repeatedly said that the physical status and state that I’m in is completely and entirely because of my TBI. I now wear a leg brace and walk with a cane.

Blah blah wah wah wah. I am desperately trying to figure out how to advance and progress myself in so many ways and forms that I am even capable or possibly of doing and achieving. I am completely and entirely powerless and incapable of doing or making any drastic or dramatic choices or decisions whatsoever. I got myself wrapped up in some financial BS over a year ago and my wife has seized my debit card and the use of it whatsoever. It's very difficult and challenging for me to even accept and...

I'm staying at my moms house each week now Wednesday-Sunday. This was arranged by my wife and not desired or requested by me to do so. Basically I'm now spending more time away from home than there. I'm fully confused about my own actions and behaviors that have resulted in this being my new standard of life and existence. I'm fully confused and perplexed. I indefinitely and absolutely feel as if I'm behaving inappropriately or offensively to my own wife with absolutely no intention or desire...

Hello. I’m here to further understand and comprehend the state and condition that I exist in while on idle. I’m recovering and healing from a TBI that occurred three years ago. I wear a leg brace and walk with a cane. My state of existence is now a complete and entire result of this occurrence. I grew up with quite a few people that used and abused muscle relaxers. That turned into a different species who were willing to do anything and everything possible for their next fix. I'm prescribed...

I exist continually and eternally in irritation & discomfort. My calf muscle is continually informing me about how irritated and uncomfortable it is and that I should be tending to ease it in any form or manner that is even possible for me to do so. According to the doctors the manner in which I feel and exist comes completely and entirely from a TBI that occurred just about three years ago. It's beyond frustrating, crushing and demeaning when the only "cure" and solution is time. I have many...

It's purtty late. I'm up and twiddling my thumbs. Bored. Restless. I'm staying at my mother's house now and I will be doing so on a weekly basis W-Sunday. Indefinitely and absolutely pushed upon me to engage in this activity by my own wife so I'm clearly and obviously treating her in an undesirable manner. This fact & occurrence altogether puts our relationship and my emotions & behaviors in the fullest and brightest light possible. I just have to be treating her unknowingly aggressive,...
