Hi I have been reading these posts. I’m in the same situation with my brother. He has yet to get physically violent but will become extremely irate, use filthy language, scream until he’s can barely speak. He has one by one verbally attacked my 17 year old daughter, my 13 year old daughter, my 18 year old niece, myself and my mother. He was on antipsychotic meds, antidepressant meds, but he now refuses to take them and has become an alcoholic on top of it. My family is at a loss of what to do for him. We are afraid he’s going to eventually hurt himself or someone else.

I had a severe TBI on August 21, 2020. It was from a motorcycle accident and I wasn't wearing a helmet. I suffered a sub-arachnoid hemorrhage, subdural and epidural hematoma, and had a craniotomy. I was off work for about 15 months and then returned. After a few months back at work I was demoted from my lead position. Here it is 2-1/2 years post accident, and my neurologist just took me back off work until I have another neurocognitive assessment done, which isn't until August 17th. I have been struggling at work. I used to be a self-starter and on top of everything. Now, I need constant guidance, have trouble following conversation and my working memory isn't that great. I just recently assembled a chicken pen frame. When I read the reviews on the product most other people that commented mentioned that it took them 30-40 minutes to assemble the frame. It took me 2-1/2 hours. I am a maintenance mechanic and very mechanically inclined (or used to be).
I don't know what my future holds regarding employment. I am new to this online community and don't know how active these forums are.
Here are two Henry Ford quotations that have inspired me and helped me live my life both before and after injury.
"You are right whether you believe you can or cannot do anything."https://techemirate.com/sites-like-aliexpress/
"I'm looking for a group of [people] with a limitless capacity to not know what cannot be done," the speaker said.
And that is very frustrating for you, I know, Mike! It's the little things that really get to me, but be patient with yourself and with them.

Hello, Tara I am aware that this thread is old, but it is also the reason that I joined this community. I'm interested to see how things turned out. She has touched me physically twice in the past week while we are still in the same predicament with my sister-in-law. Please let me know what you ended up doing, how your sister is doing these days, and any advise you could have for me.
I need some help or advise please. My sister has a severe traumatic brain injury. She was in a near fatal car accident in 2003. Just recently she has been acting out of control. She is showing no respect to me or my mother. Calling us filthy names, screaming, etc. We will be having a normal conversation with her and if she hears something she doesn't like or something doesn't go her way she snaps into a fit of rage. Last night we had another "episode" and this time she became violent and physically hit me. I don't know what to do anymore and I don't know how to help her. You can't talk about it after the "episode" happens or it refuels the fire and we start all over again. We usually ignore the outburst when it happens or casually change the subject to get her mind off of what has made her upset but it is no longer working and I am at a loss. If anyone has any advise or help or knows a group or doctor in cincinnati ohio that would be great. Thank you for listening to me.

Here are two qoutes from Henry Ford that have become my personal Mantra and have shaped the way I live my life, both before and after injury."If you think you can or cannot do a thing, you are correct.""I am looking for a group of [people] who have an infinite ability to not know what cannot be done."Randy
Trymunity followers:i came across this and had to share it.15 things you probably never knew or thought about...1. At least five people in this world love you so much they would die for you.2. At least fifteen people in this world love you in some way.3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.5. Every night, someone thinks about you before they go to sleep.6. You mean the world to someone.7. If not for you, someone may not be living.8. You are special and unique.9. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.10. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.11. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.12. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you believe in yourself, probably, sooner or later, you will get it.13. Always remember the compliments you receive. And just forget the rude remarks.14. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know.15. If you have a good friend, take the time to let them know that they are great.Make a difference in someone's life. I am thinking about all of you. And, yes, you are all great!Never unclip. Never, NEVER give up!Randy
