This is my story. I lost me at 26 and have spent the last 27 years trying to find me again. This is a story about the damage a concussion can do to your life. If you are unlucky that concussion (or mild traumatic brain injury, mTBI) will leave permanent damage. I was one of the unlucky ones. At this point I am considered to have repetitive head injury syndrome (RHI syndrome). When I went seeking help for the psychiatric and behavioral issues that go along with frontal lobe injury the various psychiatrists ignored my report of my TBI and stuck a bunch of labels on me. It took over 20 years for the first doctor to say that he needed to figure out what is mental illness and what is mTBI. I lost me but I found a new me that is stronger than that.

God only knows that we all have struggles. I battle a severe case of PTSD with dis-associative properties... Depression... I also fight various hallucinations that - I am sure if I give in- could be considered a form of schizophrenia. . We all reach a point of Rock bottom . We shatter, fall apart. My pieces are many, explicit at times, but it will begin to show you a day in my mind. I am not sure what to consider this, but it will begin to hopefully open your mind to how PTSD can be brought on, & how difficult it is for those who have to handle the ramifications of battling their mental disorder. -All rights reserved- Copyright@CrazyWildBeans: This is my first story-- please comment & give feed back. I am considering researching and writing in more detail about the subject matter of mental illness/ abuse and what it does in society.
