Laurie, you just wrote a great blog post! I’m not familiar with your blog, but would like to be. You just described perfectly what the experience is like when we try to do something consciously and it doesn’t work. We might intend to write on a certain topic, but look how our brain injuries derail us. There’s such value in that description. We can all relate to it. It’s our injured brain not being able to focus and concentrate, stick to a task. It’s hard to be a linear thinker with this injury. It’s an incredibly difficult skill to get back, requiring so many sub skills! It’s a huge amount of work for an injured brain. Tell me what your blog is. I’d love to read it.

Laurie thanks for your comment because it reminds me I’m not alone and the fact that we ever manage to write something as an achievement, and it’s ok to find it hard when our brain injury is making it more challenging than usual.

Thanks so much Sandy. You’re right, my brain just kept saying “no”. And I was having to nap so much because it constantly needed recharging. But I do feel better now and hope to get back into the stride of things.

? I’m so glad you’re back! How wonderful to get those cherished email replies…..Yes! We all understand. Bless you Michelle. ?

Thanks Vivian. I think I made it worse the longer I left it – that thing of “well one more day isn’t going to hurt”. It’s a relief to just get myself going again, and it’s been so lovely to read the email replies from some of my newsletter subscribers saying that they understand and no apology is needed. It really touches my heart ?
