I’ve been dragged down for the past 5 days with an intermittent headache.
I haven’t been sleeping well, and I’ve been extra stressed at work.
Been drinking too much coffee — not a lot, compared to what I used to drink before, but more than I should.
I’ve also been eating more carbs, which spins me up in to a flurry of quick and easy energy, then crashes me. That up and down roller coaster also makes me get angrier quicker than I’d like. It the crash puts me on edge and eats away at my patience, so I snap at my spouse more. That’s not good.
Gotta get off that roller coaster. Gotta cut out the bread.
I’ve been working out more at the gym, so that’s probably contributed — tension in my neck and back.
Not much more to say about it, other than I have to just use the tools I know I have. Do the things that work for me. Don’t get spun up over stupid stuff. And just keep going. Just keep steady. And get back to being steady, like I used to.
Onward.

I am a long-term multiple (mild) Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI or TBI) survivor who experienced assaults, falls, car accidents, sports-related injuries in the 1960s, '70s, '80s, and '90s. My last mild TBI was in 2004, but it was definitely the worst of the lot.
I never received medical treatment for my injuries, some of which were sports injuries (and you have to get back in the game!), but I have been living very successfully with cognitive/behavioral (social, emotional, functional) symptoms and complications since I was a young kid. I’ve done it so well, in fact, that virtually nobody knows that I sustained those injuries… and the folks who do know, haven’t fully realized just how it’s impacted my life.
It has impacted my life, however. In serious and debilitating ways. I’m coming out from behind the shields I’ve put up, in hopes of successfully addressing my own (invisible) challenges and helping others to see that sustaining a TBI is not the end of the world, and they can, in fact, live happy, fulfilled, productive lives in spite of it all.

Thanks – glad you’ve kicked that migraine. I’ve been mostly migraine-free for a little over a year now. I get them occasionally, but not like before I changed my “wicked ways”. I don’t want to go back.

I hear you. Had a damn. Ingrained on and off for weeks! Just the right amount of coffee and how much is too much bread? Just curious………and I’ve got a tendency of lifting things one-handed that I shouldn’t. It is never ending. You have the tools you just gotta use them. Cheers,H
