In reply to Judy Gersonde-Bryant. I’m sorry that your symptoms are worse now. Perhaps you should go back to your doctor and see if they can run some tests and give you some advice.

In reply to Jo Wood. I am tired of having invisible handicaps. People don't understand why I am the way I am. I don't take antidepressants because of the horrible side effects. I'm tired of not being able to filter what I say or do. I'm almost 10 years out. It's getting worse instead of better. I will pray for you. It's a rough life but we have no choice but to do the best we can. God be with you

In reply to Jo Wood. Hi Jo, yes it's weird that we feel differently about mental health than we do physical health. I hope the new medication helps you. Give it plenty of time. Mine initially made my anxiety loads worse, but once I'd give my body a chance to adjust it improved both my depression and anxiety.

Gosh this article is me, feels like you have been in my head and read my thoughts. I have got to the stage where ‘I give in’ I can no longer keep up the fight in my head, arguing with myself which is right thinking and wrong thinking. Telling myself to change my perspective, look for a positive in this. Some days you just can’t. I can no longer pretend for every one else that it’s ok. It’s not! So I’ve asked for help, I will have some pills please if it’s going to help me stop those over welheming emotions that take hold, if it can stop me going down the wrong road of comparing myself to how I was before brain surgery and the broken brain that I am now. This is how I am going to be able to go forward, why do we feel we fail because we take medication? When this is putting our recovery back in our own control? So here goes, I am on medication to help this poorly brain, to get a grip of this new way of how I have to live. We have to do something. If it was a broken leg we wouldn’t think twice about asking for treatment to aid recovery. Let’s make our mental health, healthy. Thanks for blog, always well written and spot on. Jo

In reply to sheila koski. Sheila I'm sorry you are going through so much. But if in any way my little story helps you know you're not alone, that makes me happy.

Thank you very much for this article. I have/am feeling the same way as you in my “recovery” it is very easy to feel alone, or that none of this is “real” thank you for your words and good luck.
