I think the power of your story —beyond your wonderful writing and the way you have overcome so much — is that by sharing it you are helping others (like me) actually understand the extent of how much TBI can effect every facet of a persons life.
Thanks Alexx, oh and by the way, I loved this line:
“I didn't give two splucks of chocolate pudding if he decided to put a gun in my face.”
This was 100% why I started blogging in the first place. For those living with it and thinking WTF like I did, for those who live with someone who has it and are wondering WTF, and for the rest of the world, for whom this isn’t remotely on their radar but who unknowingly deal with it in all sorts of people but they have no clue. Because it just gets written off as a million other things all the time. Mostly--flakey, asshole, difficult, stupid and weak/whiner/wuss.
Thank you for taking so much time with this story! Usually people only do a deep dive of it when they are personally impacted. It really means a lot. 🥰🥰🥰
And extra bonus: I love that you always get the full extent of my humor.
Wowsa!! I’m so sorry you had this experience. Thank you for sharing it. Your appreciation for those who brought you comfort and sharing without sugar coating the difficulty are a wonderful combination.
Wishing you wellness and continued love and support from the people who hold you dear.
Thank you so much!!!! I get a lot of flack for not sugar coating or constraining myself to “only think positive, glass only half-full, only the wins, only the good news.”
That’s not Life. And that’s not true health. It’s not true, deep, fathomless joy. Which are the things I’m on the hunt for. Thank you so much for appreciating the full story. Because to me, that makes the beautiful moments extra special when somebody else gets there with me to enjoy them too. 🥰
I think it's a fine balance you've struck well--the honesty of the shite that some things simply are and the not being deterred by that from "the hunt," as you put it so well for "true, deep, fathomless joy."

You’re definitely doing a good job at shining a light on it.
Yes, I love the humour. :)

Purrrrrr...thank you for seeing that full spectrum. For seeing me. And being here. 🥰
