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.
