Something I'm still trying to get through my own head. Boundaries are important. So I wanted to share this because I dont want anyone to ever forget this, and never give in to someone pushing your boundaries. Yes it's easier said then done. But we got this. #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalhealthwarrior #mentalwellnessmatters💚 #mentalhealthawareness #chronicillnesswarrior #potssyndrome #tbisurvivor #tbirecovery #dysautonomia #boundariesarehealthy https://www.instagram.com/p/ChiiyceubDz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#traumaticbraininjury (TBI) is associated with an increased risk of late #neurodegenerative complications via unknown mechanisms. Circulating neurotoxic 5-hydroxytryptamine 2A receptor (5-HT2AR) autoantibodies were reported to increase in subsets of obese #type2 diabetes having microvascular complications. We tested whether 5-HT2AR autoantibodies increase in adults following #traumaticbraininjury in association with neurodegenerative complications.

A year ago my mom died after a stubborn fight against her health. I miss her. I feel guilty to say I feel relieved. She bullied me for my body. I grew up into an eating disorder. She didn't see. She shamed me for any expression of sexuality even as a consenting adult despite being promiscuous herself. I was constantly belittled and put down. She called me a bitch. But she's also the same woman who worked two jobs when I was first born. The same woman who held me while I cried about how awful other kids are. My best supporter as an LGBT person. My home when I had nowhere to go.

I love my mom.

But I deserve space to speak up about how I was treated. And the entirety of our family turned a blind eye.

Its common in TBI to have vivid dreams. Since my surgery, I do constantly. It was hard after she first died. Everytime it was her face. It's maybe twice a week now. But every time it is confusing to remember she's gone again. Sometimes I want to be there more to escape life and be home with her. It's easier. Predictable.

I just really miss my mom, even if I see her all the time.

The time has come

to rise from the

pollution of

monstrous misteps,

the setting aside of

remaining ego fragments.

Alright, alright help

the people's.

Fire Panda will help the people's. What a crazy ride that last decade was, folks!! Nana was able to leave us knowing I was employed as a Poet for a season 😁🥳

That’s what it is, life is a bunch of seasons. Fall’s coming up, I wonder what few things will remain unpumpkin-ized 😏

Painting #2, I had surgery yesterday so this painting was done on pain meds...

[enchantress-shado]

I wrote a quote today, I used to do it a lot! I had a page called Shados Quotes and sayings, raw and honest. It's probably still up somewhere, idk. Anyway, after I had an abusive boyfriend I later found out. Being naive isn't a good thing all the time. He really tore me down, and I'm ashamed to say I quit writing because of it. I quite because why? Why do it if I'm just going to be judged? I can finally answer that question! You do it because it's you, it's a part of you! You weren't made to please others. You weren't made to be what others want you to be. You were made to be unique! You were made to be you!

Sensory Overload: The Hidden Obstacle to Brain Injury Recovery

The Negative Impact of Sensory Overload on Brain Injury Recovery

#RT Sensory Overload: The Hidden Obstacle to Brain Injury Recovery https://ctbraininjury.com/post/sensory-overload-the-hidden-obstacle-to-brain-injury-recovery… The Negative Impact of Sensory Overload on Brain Injury Recovery Brain injury recovery is a complex process that often involves various therapies and treatments to help patients regain their cognitive, emotional, and physical abilities. However, one of the lesser-known factors that can hinder recovery is sensory overload. This phenomenon occurs when the brain is inundated with information from the five senses--light, sound, taste, touch, and smell--and is unable to process it effectively. As a result, the brain perceives this as a threat and goes into fight, flight, or freeze mode, which can exacerbate symptoms and delay progress in rehabilitation. Increased Anxiety and Stress When the brain is overwhelmed by sensory input, it can trigger anxiety and stress responses. These heightened emotional states can exacerbate existing symptoms, such as headaches, dizziness, and cognitive difficulties. Moreover, chronic stress and anxiety can impair neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to adapt and rewire itself, which is crucial for recovery after an injury. #sensory overload, brain injury recovery, #rehabilitation, #anxietyty, #stresss, cognitive function, sleep disturbances, emotional dysregulation, calm environment, #neuroplasticity, #occupationaltherapy therapy, physical therapy, cognitive fatigue, sleep schedule, weighted blankets, fidget toys, gradual exposure, stimulating environments, professional support, neuropsychologist, sensory aids, interpersonal relationships, functional recovery, independence, sensory stimulation #tbisurvivor #tbirecovery #tbiawareness #strokesurvivor #strokeprevention #strokerecovery #stroke #strokeawareness #braininjury #braintumorsurvivor #brainhealth ABI Resources is a reputable organization that provides exceptional support to individuals and families in collaboration with various government agencies and community service providers, including the Connecticut Department of Social Services DSS, COU Community Options, the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services DMHAS, Connecticut Community Care CCC CCCI Southwestern Connecticut Area on Aging SWCAA, Western Connecticut Area on Aging WCAAA, Allied Community Resources ACR, Access Health, and United Services.

My TBI didn't turn me gay but this medicine caused ED really bad and a complete lack of desire for women for the most part. They put me off and whenever they flirted in person I basically told them to go away. Yeah, lost opportunities. Now I'm on abilify and it is nicer. There's still some of the invega left in my system but there's more abilify and not nearly as much ED. Plus I'm starting to slowly desire women again. I just need to get over my shyness. I'm not as bad as before at least. #mentalhealthawareness #braininjuryawareness #tbisurvivor #schizophrenia Google this. "Brain injury increases risk of mental illness 400%" and yeah, protect your melon or you could wind up in jail or mentally ill or both. Jails are full of mentally ill people. It was interesting btw that the white guy that was with the Latin gang I called the cops on in the 90s asked if I wanted their protection. I remember now. Naw. Just call the cops if you see something and be a witness please. Sorry I got triggered. The past is the past and I can forgive the PTSD triggers. I know not all of you were that bad.
