RachaelBrooks, I'm sorry to hear about your Brain injury. It is hard when we can't remember things, at least it is for me. I have to know why about everything. My therapist told me we may never know why things happen. And that is hard for me, but am going to try to just accept things the way they are. I have been journaled for a long time but here, in the past few months I have not even wanted to write. I think I need to go back to it. I pray that you will find a good therapist to help you on your journey. Hugs my friend.

Lots of good wisdom here. I do show my emotions. I use to stuff them inside. That didn't help me at all!

Writing things down really helps especially with a therapist. I made a habit of bringing my journal with me to each appointment and made a point of reading and highlighting things I wanted to mention in my appointment. That was pre brain injury. I haven't seen a therapist that I can remember post brain injury but I hope to start seeing one soon . I'm sure I must have had a counselor in the hospital but I have zero memory of those five years so who knows.

Doing well Hope yourr well Young Lady..

Nope, I have never been told I am hard to read because I say what is on my mind all the time in a nice way and try to be polite and not 2 faced. At times guys have told me I am a tease. I agree with that because at time I dress a little slutty and provocative. So I expect that from men when I look that way. Hope everyone is doing well!! Melissa in New York.
