Don’t hide away
Don’t hide away Living with a brain injury is hard, believe me I know! I am not good with dealing with more anxiety and stress now and I have had 15 years’ experience living with a traumatic brain injury. At first it is unbearable but if you take the easy route and hide away from social situations then it is really easy for people to forget about you, people become comfortable with the fact that you are not there anymore.Fitting back into a social circle is so much harder so you have to put in some effort early on, don’t expect too much too soon. Any good friends will want you to be there and so will be understanding, keep hold of any friends like that. Nothing works for me without a plan so have a plan of how you are going to get there and back, even if you are enjoying yourself don’t stay too long.
