My pleasure to assist @HeadwaySussex @HeadwayUK and as a family impacted by head injury to my Dad with other friends affected too this matters to me.

[Brainstorm For Brain Injury @ForBrainstorm]

It's not an excuse but a sad reality that brain injury survivors fatigue differently after their injury. The only way to function is by taking the time to recharge often

@SymphonyUK @SarahBScotty i was ‘lucky’ 😶 that they even bothered to see me once a week…and only after the FH spent weeks struggling to get someone to help

10 years back

still sad + [still] cross

Who is your green ribbon for? What things have changed since their injury? How do you support them? What questions do you still have?

[Brainstorm For Brain Injury @ForBrainstorm]

Anyone else know better & still pushes it too far occasionally? & then you pay for it days later? Why don't I learn? Why fo I always think it'll be different? It never is. & it's never worth it.

[Brainstorm For Brain Injury @ForBrainstorm]

It's a really good question w/lots of valid answers. Is it prevalence? Consequences? This is a great opportunity to share a social media post or ask a question or have a conversation or start a blog or donate time or money or call the survivor you know. This is an opportunity

@SymphonyUK @SameYouOrg Well done to go - I can’t get anything from them after years of my terrible read + writing life - all I get is emails asking for help to make funds when I don’t really understand.

Unlike 'normal' fatigue, which is time-limited and alleviated by rest, the intense feeling of fatigue after brain injury may be present most of the time and can have a significant impact on quality of life. We've put together eight ways to cope: https://t.co/iDB8xiaz2s

You can only “Write Down” how you feel about being angry - if you do not have #aphasia

Write down how you feel when you are angry. You can show this to someone you trust later and get another point of view.

We’ve put together a list of 10 ways to help control and manage anger after brain injury: https://t.co/jflYeGI8Zb

I have #aphasia (a #communication #disability), I tried to call my local @AskNationwide to change my surname. After several attempts I keep getting transferred to the wrong department who then tell me they can’t book appointments. This is too difficult and shouldn’t be so hard!!!
