I'm new here!

Hi, Mighty community. I’m Wendy.I’m a writer and survivor living with a traumatic brain injury, a history of eating disorders, and anxiety.Like so many here, I’ve had to rebuild life around the unexpected—and sometimes around the unbearable.I write about identity, survival, and what happens when the old ways of coping stop working.
Some of my work explores how high achievement and perfectionism became both my survival kit and my roadblock.I believe invisible disabilities deserve visible voices.I’m here to share, listen, and connect with others who get what it means to live that daily push-pull of “I’m fine / I’m not fine.”

Grateful to be here. Looking forward to meeting you.

Another hurdle

I am rated 100 for PTSD and TBI. I was considered in default of my Student Loan due to the pause in payments. Before that I had been making standard payments. They told me that they would start to garnish my disability check without providing them the waiver.
Because I am total and permanent I can get a waiver to forgive the amount left. On top of that waiver I should have had it discharged due to Federal Service for 15 years with the VA.
Problem is I am unable to navigate the beurocracy of it with my TBI condition. I wish I had help. It's what my Social Worker is supposed to help with however doesn't know what to do. #Veteran #BrainInjury #PTSD #Anxiety #Depression

Hi, my name is SpringTulip281436. I'm here because I recently experienced a TBI due to an aneurysm. I'm blessed and thankful to be alive. There is more work that God has for me to do; and my answer is "yes, Lord.." I would like to connect with others who are on this journey to recovery, as this is totally new and unfamiliar. I appreciate the community that this forum brings. Thank you for having me. ~Blessings

Hi, my name is Tawnya101. I'm here because on January 17th of this year (2025) I was in a bad accident that sent me flying through a windshield and leaving me with a terrible TBI. I. seeing 3 different therapists three times a week and am still toing tests and treatments that my Neurologist orders. Its been difficult to navigate this process and the unknown though I have been able to keep a positive attitude that someday I'll improve enough to have a more normal life. I would love to be a part of a community that knows what its like to go through medical challenges that alter our lives.

If I keep going there, I won't return to the way I'd prefer. He set me up today, Valentines of all days. If it closes, I will Never see him again and I realized that tonight. I felt it all over again, like three years prior.
I told about the phone call and was met with duh, nothing.They know,I know.And I remember daily.
I don't understand how someone can just say I'm not going to care for you anymore.

I got sick from a brain bleed, a tbi from a rare Cerebral AVM.
I loss it, my life.When I realized who I was, the damage, was done.Now, I'd rather a stranger look after my affairs.Thats messed up to me.They found someone, took two years setting me up, to fail, to struggle.To phase me out but I'm supposed to be grateful and compliant.I was lead to believe I had support.I was being given opportunities and should be grateful and not question anything.But Im to do it alone because they feel I should beable to.I have had zero privacy and zero emotional support. When, I have any qualities of life,they question that, I cannot possibly have a disability.I have never been this confused by the people around me. I have watched their masks fall.I am still navigating social cues and my reactions and my Own control.To be told I was to show him how and teach myself.I can no longer be in this environment.His family,is his.The house, his.The vehicles, his.ALL, his,phones, his mothers but I'm told I have the control issues.She has control issues.And I will no longer have my life controlled by her.I don't care what she gave her son.I never agreed to her holding it over my head twelve years later.They have put a price on my health and the terms of my marriage since recieved my Disability.Im going to be alone and that is fine, I just never thought he'd choose, his mother.Hed rather shame me than have them know the truth.He never believed me and he knew he wasn't going to learn or try.it is that he let me think that I was confused, I questioned my reality for over a year.That, I can't get over right now.Any of them involved.

I wonder if the person who is conducting the orchestra realizes, this player, plays her own song. I have been munipulated, beyond anything I could have imagined.Three years,in the works.I keep track of events and time.A timeline of behaviors and truths.If someone goes outside that, I feel it,immediately.The closest to me, decided to run a game on me, to teach me a lesson.it is wrong, to do that to someone who already has a disability, questions everyone's motives and is alone.I give everyone the benefit of doubt,when they cross me.Lately, I took a step back and took a long hard look at my circle of support.it was my son.That was it.I have been catfished, by multiple posing as friends accounts, of my husbands.I replied to every requests, heard nothing looked up their accounts and they were fake.All in two years, multiple people telling me I'm not online,when I thought I was.Im exhausted from this game of theirs.I am drained and will never understand how adults, cannot use, their words anymore. Text it.Tired of technology and fake relationships.
