Living with Stroke Survivor Stories - Emotional Issues

[@gregriddle3042]

I have a preteen stroke lost my peripheral vision. That was in 1980 when the mental aspects of a stroke weren’t really looked at. I was even sent to Mayo Clinic etc. life went on, however 44 years later the trauma has surfaced and now causing severe depression, anxiety ( which I’ve had since the stroke) but when I even think about the stroke I get emotional, crying, breaking down. I’m seeking help, but lost my job, due to performance issues, attendance. It’s all caught up with me.

My brother suffered a stroke some 3 weeks ago, his right side is paralyzed, stories like these give me hope that my brother will be well again, he will fight this with our support, thank you for sharing.

[@loveyu2778]

He will..tell him to keep going...✊🏾

[@Ravita_Lamba]

How is your brother now..??

[@TOMMYLAMOTTA]

My friend's father had a stroke, the guy literally turned into a horrible monster, mood swings, he acted like a brat throwing tantrums to crying like a baby. The families definitely suffer, because the worst stroke victims literally emotionally drain their family members, it causes a lot of stress and burdens for everyone.

[@DiEdraStinson]

Did you know your friend's father before he had a stroke? Your friend, no doubt, is sharing how he himself is feeling having to cope with his father's medical difficulties brought on by the stroke. It's got to be extremely painful. But imagine how the father himself feels. Professional therapy may help - for the whole family.

I'm going thru that right now. Thank you for your post. My boyfriend had one about 3 weeks ago, his attitude is not him. He turned to hate to me. Very vile words.. Very hard to understand why he got this way

[@caregiverinitaly]

@@dianebeatty1323 Big hugs ma'am! A few days after my husband had his 2nd and third strokes he also became vice and verbally aggressive. He would also walk the hospital hallway half naked and urinated in the corner of his room. The doctors sedated him until he was transferred to a facility specialized in strokes. With cognitive therapy he started to come around. He's not his old self, the neurologist warned me of this. But he's no longer the aggressive person he was right after the strokes.

[@dianebeatty1323]

@@caregiverinitaly I think the not knowing about that side affect really threw me. Just glad I wasn't living with him or married

[@caregiverinitaly]

@@dianebeatty1323 Totally understand, it can throw you for a loop. My husband and I had been married 18 years when he had his last stroke. So his aggressiveness really caught me off guard. We're still married and I'm his caregiver. There are good days and bad. We just learn to take things moment by moment.

As an artist who survived a stroke, I feel frustrated with losing function of my left hand. I was left handed all my life.

[@amaterasu48]

I lost right hand and I’ve been right handed.

[@sheilalamb9757]

[@amaterasu48]

I had stroke 2 years ago. I’m still affected by it.

[@1850diane]

I had a stroke back in 2016, now I'm going on post nine years and hasn't gotten better as of this day, walking with a quad cane with no use of my left hand or arm is bad for me, my stroke affected my left side I miss doing a lot of the things, that I use to do cooking, cleaning and making up my own bed, combing my own hair and making it look pretty, being unable to make it to the bathroom on time is rally nerve recking,I say I just want to be normal again.

[@diegoayala11]

I appreciate this video ~~~ my wife just had a stroke two days ago ~~~ and is hard to understand that she's in a different universe because she cannot move anything on the left side of her body ~ and it frustrates her that she cannot sit up or stand up. The toughest part for these 2 - 3 days is that she cannot eat or drink anything, and... that we don't have enough room on the bed for me to hold her... She was talking better today and keeps trying to open her eyes... I am lucky that I have both my children close by to help hold her hand or massage ~~~~ tough situation. I have already two guitars in her room ~ one of my 12 strings and my classical ~~~ the nurses get up and close the door -hahaaa. Cheers from this side ~ debating if want to take my fender strat and lil Marshall Amp : )_~~~ never been thrown out of a hospital...

[@trejam]

How is she now

[@diegoayala11]

@@trejam Greetings from this side... I ended up moving to rural area, cheaper rentals... She was in a skill nursing facility for rehabilitation (4.5 months) : ( and while i looked for different home accommodations : ) ~ we lived on 2nd floor apt with no elevator. She's 200% happier that she's with me @ home : )_~~~ And we've both metamorphed to fit into a new universe... We are now an octopus, but with two brains only --- We got an electric wheel chair donated, and wow... What a gift... Cheers from this side
