One of the most pivotal moments of my life was when I had my mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and post-concussion (concussive?) syndrome. The blow to my head made my outlook on life so grim, especially being only 16 years old when this happened. Being alone and lacking community, comparison, the “shoulds” of life, and more can make a hard situation even worse. I hope you find some light in this episode.
