The things I am struggling with.

Hi Nick

At the time the anonymity of lifeline and previously reading the book, Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway

helped.

Hi Nick

Please give Strokeline a call on 1800 787 653 and talk to someone there. It's great that you've reachede out here on Enable me. Continue to do so as it really is a supportive community. LAstly, be kind to yourself. You haven't just hit your finger with a hammer you've had a brain injury and you need to give yourself time to adjust to what life poststroke is going to be like.

Take care

Toni

Hi Nick,

No comparisons necessary. We get it. Take care.

Hi Nick - Never give up mate - The first year to two is the worst. And medication are statons drugs that make you depressed and lose  your memory .  The next problem is anyone that has not had a stroke has no idea in anyway what you are going through. Many stroke victims get angry at the drop of a hat and also have jumping thoughts by the hundreds all day - The only peace I got was when I was a sleep. I was going to top my self . But I have a daughter and had been a champion in every thing I had done in the past . So I new the hard yards it would take - Guts and determination to get back on track. And It did. There is something in you Nick that you always wanted to do. But never did . Now is your chance mate. Get off ya bum and go do it. What have you got to lose .Nothing but happiness. A hobby or something you never thought  you could do. Your brain will sort its self out eventually as mine did . I am here for you mate. Just one call away . Message me for my number.
