just tired and fed up
should i write a letter to judge with past history and current status of my Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) daughter along with the facts she refuses help of all kinds
its thanksgiving and i spent the day with my mom and her boyfriend family. i feel very lost at time being and very much alone. my daughter and her Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) has suffocated me now since may and i dont know how to get back to happier. i do have an appointment with theraposy in dec. i need help through this all. i just feel empty.My daughter spent some time in jail and at one point, I did write the judge a letter stating the circumstances of her condition. It made a difference. I would write the letter. State the facts, be as detailed as you can. It'll get to the judge and at least he/she will understand the full magnitude of your daughter's issues.
Take care of YOU too. Nourish yourself.
i dont know how to get back to happier.

Yes it can. Depending upon which area of the brain has been affected it can be very mood and personality altering.she was to have an appointment monday with a nuerologist. because of her Traumatic Brain Injury (Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)). she hasnt had an mri/brain scan since this happe ed in may. we need to know extent if the Traumatic Brain Injury (Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)). i do know this, she is not the same as she was, almost vacant of any attatchment and emotion. its scary the look that was on her face. Does anyone know can Traumatic Brain Injury (Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)) cause a more psycotic person?
she was diagnosed with bipolar with psychotic features at age 7. in her childhood she had spent more time in residential treatments than at home. eventually yhe psychotic features was taken off her diagnosis. simce her Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) she is exempt of realistic emotions for certain situations. totally void. her eyes are empty. people say eyes are the window to the soul, well hers are lack luster and empty. the night she attacked me she sat on the chair holding her head and rocked back and forth..then basically matter of factly stated i am going to kill you as she walked across floor and began to choke me. I have dreams that wake me up now that she had a knife and attacked me. I am lucky that didnt happen. i just want to stop crying. i jusy cant. i break out anywhere and feel so stupid for the tears.A quick google search produced a number of articles attesting to the relationship between Traumatic Brain Injury (Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)) and psychosis and mental illness.
She needs to be evaluated. And you must take care of yourself.

I am 100% alone in this ever on going issue with my Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) daughter. I have no friends suffer depressiin and major anxiety from everything that has hapoened through out my life. I am pretty much homeless. I dont know where to turn. I am not perfect by any means as a person, parent or friend. I dont know what to do at all, neither for my Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) daughter nor myself. I feel like I embarrass my own mother..and that my other daughter busys herself to avoid me. I honestly dont know what to do. This whole even since May has me tale spun and I feel like I landed in another Universe and nobody speaks my language.Do not feel stupid for your tears. I can’t imagine how stressful this is for you. I have cried until my eyes are so puffy I can hardly see. Be gentle and kind to yourself.
