Wow, brother, that post went deep. Thank you for sharing. In the last year and a half I've been battling with an acute brain injury from a vehicle accident I had. Most likely why I didn't catch what your message was saying in your previous post. My brain isn't fire the same it did prior to the accident. I have severe short term memory loss and an inability to control emotions. I have no filter.
These effects from the accident weren't obvious to me. I didn't get diagnosed till earlier this year. Right now I have to keep myself separate from society. Because I lack an ability to control my emotions, I will lash out in a split second unaware of what I'm doing. Needless to say I've damaged some relationships and just go off on random people. All of last year I was bed ridden with severe emotional mood swings from rage of anger to deep depression. I'm getting help now and it's been productive, but I have a long road ahead of me before I can re-enter society.
Your situation eclipses mine and my heart goes out to you brother. That's one positive to the accident, my empathy is very acutely heightened. I had a dog for 12yrs and he was better at emotional support than just about anyone in my life. So my heart goes out to you and Yoshi
. Hopefully you can reunite soon for that much needed emotional support only a loving animal can provide. My thoughts and prayers go out to you my brother, feel free to vent and rant whenever you want, it's your right and an emotional release to let go of that negativity that may be hanging over you.
Note:
The one thing that's helped me is my very long winded post you see around in the different threads. If it helps you and provides therapy, post up brother, I will listen.
We seem to have a lot in common..
One thing that's kept me going when my tank is low..Helping Others..!!
It gets my head off the obstacles I deal with on a daily basis..
From a simple PM..to late night calls from fellow Brothers dealing with Life's curve balls..
As Men..we all have that..I don't need anyone or anybody’s help..Which is straight BS..
We all need help at Times..
For Me..asking for help is not something that comes easy..
God has humbled me many times..but He's always been there..
C has brought me closer to God..it has changed my life in so many ways..
Believe it or Not..more in a positive manner..
I try to talk less..listen More..
Don't get me wrong..it's taken more, way more than I ever wanted to Give..!!
We all have our personal Journeys thru Life..
There's nothing special about me..Just a guy not ready to leave this World..
But..that's up to the Big Man..not me..
He's has bestowed me a few Miracles..
From finding Duke Hospital, that saved me..
Too,my old boss..paying for a Motor in my Benz..
Sorry Brother for your struggles..and let me pause and say..it's the Brotherhood of good Men..being their Brothers Keeper..Doesn't end there, their Families as well..
What brings us together..makes us stronger..
And you're not Alone..
Personally, I try to listen and inspire..not just about Gear..
It's about Life and how we have to Navigate the ups and downs..in a positive manner..
Because I've gone down the Dark Path..Many Times..
BUT..
I'm Always here for my Brothers, night or Day..
If there's Anything I can do to help..please don't hesitate..!!
Before C..I was a pure Ahole..
You keep Fighting Brother..never look back..!!
Thank you for the kind words..
To the OP..
Sorry for hijacking your Thread..
