What Does Damage to the Frontal Lobes Look Like 30 Years Post-Brain Injury?

Researchers studying Vietnam veterans with TBI are now looking more closely at how TBI can alter a person's social beliefs -- from religious and political to legal and moral.

[@spike84able]

I truly believe I have TBI of frontal lobe from an accident. I'm not the same person as before the accident. I'm more aggressive, easily angered and frustrated over little things that don't go right. My personality has done a 360.

I got my frontal lobe brain damage when I was 16 was intoxicated from deadly amount of benzoes and drinking at a party was able to call my mother to pick me up next morning she knew something wasn’t right she said I had soiled myself and quickly after going to walk in physician I was admitted to er and soon after to ICU I’ve yet to stop committing brain cell genocide through substance abuse although I want to because I know it’s the only way of living a comfortable life as a normal person in society. At least consistently. Since the brain injury I have lost my sense of smell which baffles people some even doubt me. I’m 33 now I’m still struggling to live as responsible adult. And not sure if there was an increase of inability to make the right decisions in the moments that count. But since then I’ve always reacted on impulse which is usually foolish all the while knowing in the back of my head what the consequences entail and that it’s not something that I’m gonna feel good about. Obviously many outside factors I’d like more information about my condition and wish I would’ve stopped the drug use and work with the neurologist that was available to me when I was still on mother’s insurance. Now I’m thirty just trying to survive and feel lost because I’m not an adult and expected to be one because of that partnership has looked like multiple short lived flings that leave me feeling empty because as a grown up knows until ur right with urself and walk through this world growing and overcoming and achieving you can’t find someone for a life partner that is gonna be good fit and adhere contribute to ur growth and vice versa. So I’m missing out on that amazing part life offers. And I’m scared I’ve gone to far to be able to clean up the mess. IV use really was a game changer especially when methamphetamines are concerned. Thank u for hearing me out.I don’t discuss it much with people because it’s not an issue that is really a part of their reality so I don’t think they really care not out of meanness but just aloofness

[@proclaimer2u]

I was abused throughout my infancy, childhood and teen years. As a boy I was hit in the head many times. A neurologists suggested that being hit so many times probably caused some damage. He gave me a "map test"of the brain and the results confirmed that the frontal lobes were under-active and should be the cause of a poor memory, my inability to make sense of songs, paragraphs, tests, etc. Also fighting depression, low level of stress tolerance and many such things. The one thing I am grateful for is I can control my emotions mechanically. Probably because of my severe abuse and controlling what I said, did, and thought. This is an awful thing to live with. Hiding memory problems, apologizing for forgetting something personal, and many other things I do such as acting like I am listening when in reality, I have become lost and have no idea as to what is being communicated. I am 67 now, and have no idea as to what it feels like to be normal. The one thing that causes depression is when people tell me to pay attention, or write things down or get angry because I forgot something that they take personally. It is really an awful thing to live with.

Listen to the rhythm. Instruments speak in many ways. Hear the start of gimme gimme gimme by abba with the underground dark beat and that fantastic but repetitive instrumental a few seconds after. (The song sucks after) The band NIN and their awfully overthetop baseline taking over and sounding dreadful in one song (that I can't remember), it's fucking great. Radiohead's videos and music fits in perfectly sometimes despite being something that I don't actively listen to. Laura Brannigan - Power of Love and how her voice is smooth and delicate in " I'm your lady " and then harsher and more 80s woman power ballad-esq voice when she sings " and you are my man " . Self control (the song) rules too. Imagination and expression is fucking everything for me personally. I do not hear lyrics though normally. I can't words... xD

[@captainobvious4051]

I am currently 41yrs old. When I was 3 ½ years old (was 6months from turning 4yrs old) the car I was in was hit by a drunk driver, drivers side to drivers side killing my dad on impact, my mom went through the windshield braking her jaw, injuring her shoulder & back. The impact was like hitting a brick wall at 90mph.The sunroof caved in and sliced my head open causing a skull fracture & brain bleed in/to my left frontal lobe (not sure if it impacted other areas in the brain?). I was pronounced clinically dead ans was revived sometime after 5-7mins. I have 60 cross stitches (120 total) in my head to close my scalp. I was in a coma for a week, not expected to live. My mom said once I regained consciousness, that I was different & described me as a "fiery little thing." I do have motor skills deficients, tho they are not noticeable to others unless pointed out. Math is like a foreign language to me, I have tried, even with tutoring & still can't grasp things beyond basic math/algebra. Organization skills - what's that? I don't even know how to be organized & it drives my husband crazy, as wel as myself. I do have memory problems, but my biggest problem is my emotions. I have battled depression on/off since I can remember. Medications only work for a short time. My moods can vary throughout the day. My anger gets the best of me and I get mad over the slightest things. I also suffer from Aggression when I get really upset, I just want to break something or throw something. I speak before I think, which can be a big problem, too. And everything feels like it's the end of the world & I feel as if things won't get resolved. I've tried counseling, but I have yet to find anyone who can really help me. They have treated me just as a normal person without a brain injury. I wish more than anything I could be "normal" - which I know everyone is not the same, but to be without a TBI & dealing with the issues from it would be absolutely wonderful. I have found the older I have gotten, the WORSE things are getting. Idk if there's been studies done or whatever, but I'd love to participate in one. I just want help so I can function normally, but no idea how to go about doing it.

I also used to hit my head against walls & stuff when I was young (an autism thing) to the point where I was deforming my skull (luckily It’s all normal now) and here I am at 21, had an mri done & turns out I have calcification of my meninges caused by the headbanging, so idk what kinda damage I have/haven’t done My point is though, the brain at a young age is VERY malleable, children have grown up relatively normal with only half their brain, if your brain injury happened as a child, you’re lucky.

It has been the only depression medication to work for me. Dr said I can't up dosage if in a year or whatever it doesn't work as well & will have to add something to it. I hope not bc this is the only depression medication that doesn't make me feel "blah" like I'm just on auto pilot & numb to everything like other medications have done that I've tried. The Wellbutrin has been great for not anxiety & stressing over every little thing & loosing my cool & of course depression.

I know of a girl who fell to the floor on her head during child birth. No damage detected initially. She grew up super anxious, no growth pattern despite education. Struggled with learning and memories. Her attitude towards people was aggression and irritability; constant fight & flight mode. Struggled with depression and self identity & personality. Could not mange anything properly. Could not build any relationship and struggled to manage her own life or control her life & make choice. People described her as LIVING IN HER OWN WORLD. Fast track at 34 yrs after her heart break from a guy she loved, due to anxious attachment, she miraculously healed from TBI. Real life struggle trying to put pieces of her life together. Can remember things now even from infancy. She’s calmer and friendly now. Learning to take charge of her own. She describes it as peace and call in her head.

Combining THC and CBD alternately helps immensely. The THC can calm and help with some aspects, and the CBD can help with sleep and regeneration of brain tissue. They have to be alternated and separated to be most effective because the CBD is the aspect in cannabis that tempers down and reduces the psychotropic effects of the THC. My favorite brand of CBD is Quicksilver Scientifics but if you are a more natural oriented consumer or you have taken the jab Charlottes Web may be better for you. Quicksilver is nano processed lab version of the CBD which could interact with the nano aspects of the MRNA vaccine. And not everyone wants a lab intensified version of CBD. It just works better for me because I have severe arthritis as well that it removes the pain where the other natural versions just can’t do.

It's like if I can help them then that will help myself. Even though I know that's not how it works. Brain injuries man.. Can be a hell of a thing to live with. Or it can be the greatest gift depending on how we look at it.

Preciate ur outlook brother , never really Spoke with anybody on it Expecially someone who can relate...It’s a battle daily and I always question if it from my brain injury or if this is just me ...I agree that someone will appreciate us one day... The girls I be with fall in love and continue to love me even in the end but its me who turns into a whole nother person and I feel I have no control an that’s always the start of my relationships ending

@@marweazy1 Sorry to hear that. But I know what you mean. The thing is our brains are healing and recovering for the rest of our lives. So because of this. We continue to change. over a year we grow a little more and we change a lot. I've noticed with myself an increase in anxiety and alertness. So I'm always on edge. Which means I don't want to put up with arguing about the small problems that everyone's so upset over. I know I can't seem to relate to people and or stand out in a group anymore like I used to. I always tend to just blend in and not start a conversation because everything is hard to follow. I cant seen to keep up and be quick enough or maybe confident enough to add an opinion. That's common with occipital lobe damage. If you ever want to connect and chat I'm always down.

Occipital skull fracture with subdural and subarachnoid hemorrhage resulting in moderate TBI almost six months ago. If you’re reading this and still in the early early recovery stage, hang in there. Just focus on the basics: sleep, nutrition, hydration, exercise. Find out what you’re struggling with and practice it a little more daily. If sitting in a noisy cafe and reading a book for 30 minutes without having a breakdown is your goal, then great-start there. I couldn’t do that until nearly two months post-injury. I couldn’t do anything but suffer with severe headaches and vertigo for almost four weeks. The emotional ups and downs were extreme. Bottom line: hang in there and practice getting “back to normal” for as long as it takes. Just don’t give up.

Any worthwhile treatments out there? I dint remember my life everyday is like my first one…I’ve had over 30 concussions and around 15 losses of consciousness and because there is nothing on mri scans the doctors say I have no injury to the brain

[@brainline]

Yes! Some effective treatments for traumatic brain injury (concussion) can be found here: www.brainline.org/treatment The link above has information and links to where you can seek treatment. Things you can do at home, like diet and yoga, to more intensive treatments, like memory strategies training and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). If you are able, start documenting your symptoms so the next doctor appointment you can start to address where you need support. Not all brain injuries will show on an MRI. You may need a CT scan. Even then, you may show a 'normal' brain scan but still have injuries. (www.brainline.org/article/what-happens-brain-during-injury-and-early-stages-recovery-brain-injury)

Both of my temporal lobes are "dead" but my mind functions as they are rerouted around the dead areas. Think of it as taking a different road around a blocked area. The downside is that it takes a lot more gas of energy to get places causing extreme fatigue but I will take that trade off.

I just want to add that I believe weed makes matters worse for me in regards to my brain, just so everyone reading knows that the effect will be completely different from person to person. It can make me more creative sometimes but that's about it. I use it for anxiety, insomnia and nausea so while it works amazingly well for those things, I also end up tired, dumb and hungry so it's a trade off for me :/ I swear I have every invisible illness possible and it is so frustrating to look completely normal/healthy/young and have people expect normalcy out of me when really I can't even remember what I'm doing or how old I am. My IQ was in the genius range when I was a child but I'm terrified to find out what it is now bc I know it will break my soul to quantify just how much I've lost.
