I hope someone out there can help me. Thank You Everyone
I’m so sorry you had this accident, friend… It happened more than ten years ago but you’ve been really strong despite the hardships you’ve been facing. I’ve never been in such a situation nor in any accident like that. So I can only imagine how it feels, especially when this is something someone in your family had already been through.
You said you’re having therapy, which is really good to hear. Those were major traumatic moments in your life and being helped by professionals can be welcomed.
Also most of us in this community might not be able to understand how it feels to be in this situation precisely, but many of us certainly felt how you feel, for different reasons. This feeling of being isolated and alone because of something you never asked for yet shaped your life deeply… I’ve been there too, because of some traumatic events in my life. And I understand how difficult it is to be in that position. Feeling alone when you’re already vulnerable adds more pain to a difficult situation. Reaching out just like you did by posting this message is definitely a huge step. Such as therapy. So know that you are not alone friend. This community is definitely a place where you can be supported through the obstacles of life.
You described what happened and your need to talk to someone who’s been through the same. Do you want to share about how this situation makes you feel? How you handle this in your daily life? It’s okay if you don’t want to - no obligation at all. Just know that you can always do it here if you ever need to talk. And there will always be someone willing to listen and share about common experiences or feelings. 
Sending much love your way.
Hi @Drummerne1. I’m so sorry that you were in such a terrible accident and I’m sorry to see you’re still having so much trouble with after effects from it.
I just wanted to let you know that you aren’t alone, even if the circumstances aren’t quite the same. I was in an accident in 2012, it wasn’t anything major at all and I didn’t end up having anywhere near the same extent of injuries as you, but I did have a pretty bad TBI that wasn’t diagnosed until six months later. I have problems because of it til this day, and most of the people around me don’t understand how it affects me, so I kinda just get ignored when I say something is affecting me in a negative way. I’ve had to learn ways around it.
I want to echo what Micro said. You’ve been very strong to be facing these hardships. It’s good that you are going to see therapists about how you are being affected by this. Also, if you want to talk more about what you’ve been through and how you feel about things, we are here to listen. You aren’t alone.
