After brain injury it's hard to find the right words to make an explanation so we default to 'it's ok" or "I'm fine" even if we aren't. If you know a survivor, there could be more going on than they say. #braininjury #invisibledisability #itsokaynottobeokay

#simple #straightforward #predictable.
#Braininjury is none of those things. Some days will be better, some will be worse. Every day - good or bad will eventually be over w/opportunity for the next to be better. &if it isn't better, at least it'll be a different day.

This is brain injury.
I look busy. I probably look a little crazy. But it's kind a like spinning my wheels. So much effort but not much progress. Mostly because I forgot which direction I was moving in to begin with #braininjury #braininjuryawareness #executivefunction

Mental Health after brain injury is tricky, taboo and poorly understood.
Maybe we can spread awareness to help.

"Having a brain injury doesn’t mean you can’t get back into education. It may take a bit longer, but that’s ok." Saqlain was recently awarded his PhD in Cell Biology and shares his tips for other young people pursuing higher education after a brain injury. bit.ly/3LILgSk

We all need a #mantra.
We don't feel like it'll be ok, but somehow, it'll be ok.
Ok looks & feels different than before your injury, but ok will come.

#backtowork after #braininjury is a big deal.
1. #Congratulations! What a great accomplishment
2. Listen to your brain & body.
You may find you need more of a routine to help you stay on track and remember everything you need to. You may #fatigue quickly.Brain breaks will help.
