This is another #TBI / #concussion story.
When I moved two apartments ago it was a matter of quick necessity. I couldn't find another good housemate to split rent. My judgement was impaired, clinically, and I'm still owed hundreds by one who wouldn't keep a job and ditched. I had a brain injury that was maybe half a year old and a very limited understanding of what that meant for me, and hadn't yet realized that workers comp was supposed to be covering my medical care so when I couldn't afford it anymore I'd had to just... stop. And the new job I'd taken because I couldn't do the old one anymore didn't make half what I'd made when I was working full time. This all must have been looming for a long enough time for me to have, and give, fair warning. I THINK I'd started packing almost a month before I had to go. What I didn't realize was how I could burn out, or that there was a reason I couldn't reliably sort things into categories the way I'd meticulously done into and out of the boxes I'd moved in with. I couldn't plan ahead or track time or follow multiple-step directions let alone make them for myself. So over two more moves, multiple boxes of seemingly unsortable mess have followed along.
We started watching Marie Kondo's series on Netflix, which makes the #kondomethod so much clearer sometimes than the book had. Her enthusiasm is infectious. So we're trying it. And what you see here is POUNDS of recycling from more than five years of paperwork, heaps of which had been shoved into shoeboxes and bags back when all I could figure out was that it was important and needed to be kept, maybe, possibly, but couldn't actually read or sort it on my own. A stack of journals were stored away for record keeping and @laurenperkalis is going to help me sort a few packets of remainder.
My goal is that by the time we move out of this apartment (which as far as we can forsee won't be until we find and can afford a forever home, which is gonna be awhile) I've completely gone through all my stuff. And this here? This progress? Is an almost indescribable triumph.

Pediatric brain injuries are far more prevalent than most of us realize. The statistics are sobering, and the discovery of the hard truths behind and beyond the numbers is alarming. Medical science can now determine, more than ever before, just how structures in the young brain can be affected by trauma, why they are so vulnerable, and what the long term challenges of early brain insult can ultimately be. Are you aware of just how susceptible the immature brain is to traumatic forces? Do you know the signs and symptoms of brain injury in a child? Just how does a toddler “tell” a parent or grandparent they’ve sustained a potentially significant head injury? This article seeks to answer these and other important questions every family should know. Stay safe out there!

Depression is an epidemic right now. It is the #1 cause of disability and is projected to be the 2nd leading cause of death behind cardiovascular disease worldwide by 2020. After the age of 12, 11% of Americans take a mental health medication. After menopause, a whopping 53% of women are taking a mental health drug. It’s no surprise that antidepressant medications are a $16 billion industry-but clearly, the gold standard of “CBT and medication” is not working. In my opinion, traditional mental health treatment usually helps people cope with depression rather than fix it altogether. In fact, these statistics indicate to me that out mental health system is a miserable failure. The research truly indicates that depression is often an interplay between genetics, environment, nutrition, and lifestyle. It’s time to overhaul our approach in helping people understand mood. Over the next 2 weeks, I will be focusing on the biggest underlying factors which cause, fuel, and maintain depression. Some of these are rarely discussed and may surprise you. 💖#MaverickMom#Depression#MentalHealth#SAD#WinterBlues#Antidepressants
(1/3)January 14th marked two years since my injury. Many people assume that since it’s been so long, and that I look perfectly fine, that I am better and continuously improving. But, in reality that’s not the case.
The case is that recovery is not a straight line- far from it actually. I can go months without improving, and can even get worse!
I am still affected by, quite literally, everything.
To give a few simple facts:
I cannot drive, let alone be a passenger in a car, (with my weighted blanket, and anti-nausea bands,etc) for longer than 30 minutes without a really long break.
My surroundings still always “move”, and I cannot hold a focus…
There's no reading books, or freely watching tv.
I can't cook all of my meals, or put my laundry away whenever I want to. Hell, I can’t even shower when I want to.
Some days, my symptoms make it that just making my bed is literally the only thing I can do for the day.
I truly depend on my family and doctors to get me through.
As much as I don’t want to rely on medications, it’s something that has to be done for now.
There’s never a moment that I feel “normal”, because my symptoms are a constant, endless cycle. But every day I’m grateful.
Grateful for any of the small steps that HAVE been made, and the power to keep moving.
Maybe it’s not about all that I’ve been through, or trying to paint the perfect picture of my every struggle, or the longevity of it… Maybe it’s about showing people that no matter how bad something is, or how long it lasts, life is still beautiful and worth living.
So here I am, reminding you in the depths of your darkest times, or in the heights of your greatest moments….
That there is something to be grateful for.
That there is something to keep on fighting for.
That now, is the only time you are certain to have.
Both the highs and lows of life creates the most perfect imperfect beauty.
You are powerful and resilient.
An overcomer.
A warrior.
And have the ability to choose who you want to become.
…
I hope something in my “730 Days” poem, can act as a reminder, something to relate to, or a beacon of hope...Thank you to those who continue to support me!

I’m not lazy like a vegetable though. In fact my sis and I have been doing balance exercises every morning with the start of the new year. I was right there with ya. During my glory days when I was running every day and on the track team, I thought that balance exercises were pointless because they were SO easy. Needless to say, they’re not as easy as they once were. Anything but hard though. I can’t believe that I wasn’t doing them the whole time that I’ve been home from the hospital! Starting with the basics of walking. 🚶 You have to be able to stand before you can walk. Walk before you can run. You don’t have to weight train to be strong.🙄 #fitness#balance#balanceexercises#gritface#training#weighttraining#tbi
I rushed out the door one morning and by the end of the day had one of the worst shut downs I’ve had in several months. My body locks into flexion, my joints throb and after hours of pushing through the urge to curl into a ball, sound and light become physically painful. It gets to the point that I am muffling screaming between breaths. I was in so much discomfort that I didn’t even realize What was wrong until the next day. I have discovered what a profound affect Kinesio-tape has on my life (along with other techniques I neglected that day as well). This video is the most vulnerable thing I have ever brought in to the light. In the past I associated weakness with unworthiness. I was so ashamed of my pain and the sensory overload that goes with it. I would disappear for hours and lie about what I was doing. Often having to nap on the floor in janitor closets or gas station bathrooms until my system would recover. In those moments I think I have no answers, no resources, and little hope. The next day I realized how long it had been since I had felt that way. This used to happen in FULL force five or six times a day and now I experience an incredibly mild version of this maybe three times a week. I know the warning signs and can use nervous system resets to make most everything bearable enough to come in to the light AND KICKASS !!! I am still perfecting this action plan and testing its limits on myself in full intensity this year. I am so excited to show you no one has to suffer in silence. To show you how to lean in, reach out, and speak up in every area of your life! Love yourself my lone little wolves!

Being a Woman playing a "Man's" sport is never easy but, being a Woman playing a "Man's" sport with major health complications, now that makes it ten times harder. What a lot of people don't know is, just how much hard work that it took to get me where I am today. I didn't become a 2x World Champion over night. It took time, training, perservence, and lots of criticism (people weren't always nice either). All that criticism and negative feedback from people fueled my fire and drive. Despite my afflictions I continue to strive and be the best I can be, not just in hockey, but in all aspects of my life. Never let your ailments or whatever crappy situation you may be in define you!

Had to stop at Target this morning to pick up my much needed propranolol* & ended up buying some extras too. I was going to get the light up with sounds Captain Marvel globe but it wasn’t a set! It was only one glove! I literally said, out loud to no one, “but both her fists sparkle”. Anyhow, Toothless has always reminded me of Toki & he makes a growl dragon noise when you squeeze him. I’m an adult. *the propranolol is to keep me from getting post-concussion migraines. I’ve been trying to get this refilled for 2wks, been without it for 1 & each time I’ve requested my dr refill it (3x), they’ve refilled my flexeril each time. I’ve gotten 3 refills for the same thing in the span of 2wks. Right now, I’m not doing well at all & I’m at work waiting to get a call back from my dr. I’m probably gonna have to call my mom to pick me up from work because, I don’t know if you’ve ever tried driving with a concussion & executive function dysfunction, but it’s not a good thing. #disabled#TBI#traumaticbraininjury#colorado

〰️ Dirt ‘n’ tings 〰️ I’ve been looking a lot more recently at what goes into our cleaning and beauty products- particularly what I clean the house with, and what harmful chemicals go into them. Eira’s health needing extra care means that I’m trying very hard to figure out how to make food and products we use as beneficial to our health as possible. I’m absolutely useless in this field as I love cleaning and I love products that “work” and I’ve always thought natural alternatives wouldn’t get things as clean as I want them. If any of you have any tips, brands or recipes you use for replacing potentially harmful chemicals with gentle alternatives, PLEASE let me know! I’d love it if, when we move into our new place, I had a lovely stock of cleaning stuff that I wasn’t terrified of the kids getting hold of!
PS, a year ago I would have laughed if you’d told me I’d be posting this. Don’t ever be afraid to learn new things, even if it means seeing that you weren’t as smart as you thought before 💖
Leaving work early today to go to a meeting for services for Jessica. Turn on the car and this is playing. “God I miss you now // All the people left when the blue sky crashed // And I can't do this alone.... take it easy on me...”

Anatomy of a Brain Overload
People call it many things #Flooding , #BrainOverload , #AnxietyAttack , #Trigger ...
1. I woke up later this morning than usual, I had trouble sleeping so my #NoiseCanceling earbuds were used all night while I listened to something calming.
2. I felt pretty good when I woke up. Not energetic but good. I opened my door and Buddy #puppy was there and we took some time for #PuppieCuddles
3. My Grandfather got his own Coffee and Breakfast together (Small Victory when he does, it's not easy being caretaker and patient)
4. Had a nice talk with my son before he left for school.
5. I was having a pretty good morning.
6. The dogs started to bark.
7. Loud machines started.
8. I got #disoriented and sick to my stomach
9. #PainSpike
10. Everything seems louder and more confusing.
11. #Panic sets in ---All the sounds; machines and my dogs #OverloadedmyBrain
12. I went to grab my noise canceling earbuds. The battery is dead.
13. I set up where I can change them and put them on. They hum while charging.
14. The hum hurts my head as well.
15. Further panic and I'm at a loss
16. I go to the quietest room and ride out the storm.
17. Things are quieter now, but my headache is up, and my exhaustion level is higher.
I hope my post lets some people know they are not alone and help #friends , #family , and #caretakers have a small glimpse in.

💓 The smile on my face can’t even compare to the beam felt across my heart when this photo was papped this week at @zoe.e.fox and @djkanednb baby fox cub shower 💓
.
.
It was my first time at a social gathering since October, when I had a brain relapse 🤯 which had me bed bound in vertigo for 5 weeks. It wiped me out 😰 you could turn this smile totally upside down and that is the strength of the sadness and solitude I felt at the time 😔 Holding conversations when in vertigo is near on impossible, so you gotta get verrry comfortable in your own skin. December I hopped back in the oxygen chambers and could do one on one catch ups, the treatments are now kicking in and back feeling stronger, and so ready to come and find YOU!!! Every day when the world stays straight feels like such a blessing nowadays! 😝🌎 And as always after I’ve been offline in my little shell.... ✨I’ve missed you✨ ... and now still to remember to go easssyyy, and not get too excited and floor myself again! 🤪
.

All my brain warriors out there how do you manage to keeping progressing whilst staying out of relapse zone? 🧐 would love your advice! .

Thanks for the photo @collettejwarren and the soul fulfilling afternoon Zoe and Kane 💞

Serious post alert: This picture sums it up. While Canadian vets enjoy coverage for their cannabis from Veterans Affairs Canada, our allies to the south still face losing their treatment benefits, or even jail time for medicating with cannabis. This is straight up bullshit. We walked the same roads, got in the same firefights, lost mutual friends and bled into the same dirt, yet they are still fighting for their right to heal. For those south of the border, you are in our thoughts and we are here to help any way we can. We are still with you. #canada#unitedstates#dva#vac#cannabis#relief#ptsd#tbi#arthritis#chronicpain#war#afghanistan#recovery @wfw_project @sean_kiernan_wfwp @beardbrospharms @herb @wfwcannabis @operation1620 @oaf_nation
From @opbphoto - Psychedelic Mushroom Supporters Push For Oregon Legalization
..
“Nobody’s going to be taking psilocybin home with them to administer to themselves, which means that there will be none in public, no one driving,” said Tom Eckert, one of the leaders of a campaign to legalize psilocybin.
..
Eckert and his wife, Sheri, are the co-sponsors of the Psilocybin Service Initiative, a push to get legalization on the 2020 ballot. The first thing they want voters to know is that they’re not following the model of legalization used by cannabis proponents.
..
Tom Eckert, a therapist in Beaverton, said voters should realize what they’re legalizing is “psilocybin-assisted therapy,” rather than wholesale access to the drug.

🧠Traumatic brain Injury is a disturbance of brain function resulting from an impact to the head. Although this type of injury is high amongst professional athletes and children, other common causes include accidental falls, blunt-force-trauma, and car accidents. This is a very serious disease process that affects 1.5 million Americans annually, accounts for 30% of all injury related deaths, and kills 153 people everyday. Symptoms range from mild to severe and include headaches, nausea, trouble sleeping, trouble focusing, memory loss, and impaired vision. Due to the nature of the injury, TBI may manifest psychological symptoms such as irritability, anger, aggression, mood swings, and impulsive behavior.

Stromie Sarah:
I thought if I kept rubbing my eyes they would suddenly go back to normal. But they didn’t. It was almost like there was something stuck in my eyes. It was as if I had double vision.
•
After a week or so following my hemorrhagic stroke, I was able to verbalize that my vision wasn’t quite right. It was hard to put into words (not just because of the aphasia haha). A visual field test revealed I had Hemianopsia, which is blindness in half the visual field. It's often caused by strokes; in my situation, my strokes happened in the left side of my brain therefore I cannot see out of the right side of both of my eyes.
•
Not only was I learning how to talk and walk and function without much sensation on the right side of my body, I couldn’t see very well! Sheesh!
•
My first questions was, what’s the prognosis? Well, it wasn’t good. I was referred to an ophthalmologist who treats low vision. She recommended a program that could be done on my home computer that trains my eyes to stretch my vision to the right.
•
One of my very generous college friends gifted me the money to be able to purchase the program. I will never be able to repay her or put into words how thankful I am for what she gave me. Where it has helped me the most is in my central vision. See my pictures for details.
•
The top pictures are from 2016 and the bottom are from 15 months later after performing the vision restoration therapy.
•
In addition, I went through a driver rehabilitation program which helped me learn how to drive with low vision. I constantly have to scan while I am driving. It is exhausting! I do not like to drive on the interstate or go places and which I’ve never been. Not only is my vision a problem, but it is hard for me to multitask between the GPS and driving.
•
I used to race cars in my youth and thought that I truly was too fast and too furious. Now I drive like a senior citizen and I am proud of it! If you see a lady with purple hair driving under the speed limit in Omaha, give her grace. I am not texting. I am not changing the radio station. I am not distracted. I am just enjoying the luxury of driving.

I wish Mark Zuckerberg would reclassify @Facebook and tell people what it actually really is. It's an anti-social Network. We are attached to these touch screens and we are losing touch with what is important in our lives. People. People are important. You look at this device and you have an illusion of the fact that you can instantly be connected with people. While connecting with others we are losing the connection we have with our self, our community, and our planet. People who do not understand addiction truly do not recognize the fact that they are hooked on technology. They should have a warning label on them warning people of the potential risks for addiction and long-term harm and possibility of receiving digital dementia. What's going on online should never affect what you're doing in your day-to-day life negatively. Yet when you see children committing suicide because they were bullied in school and bullied online when they went home from school it just kind of makes you wonder. Is this crap really worth it all? At what cost? This is going to be interesting to see over the next however many years how it all plays itself out. Be careful because absolute power corrupts absolutely!

“My name is Kristy Estes Barkley and I am a traumatic brain injury survivor, sustained from multiple concussions. In 2008 I lost what I felt was everything important to me. I had to retire from my amazing job in the NHL and give up my dream of getting my PhD. My "severe head pains" had me in bed at least 4 days a week.😔 My PMS was so bad that I asked for a divorce every month. I often got lost going to simple places. The social anxiety I had was paralyzing, I couldn’t keep up with conversations if more than 1 person was involved, I often forgot my friends names or significant things about them, I wasn’t able to respond in a timely manner to any questions, so I just stopped doing anything social at all. My down in the dumps spiraled out of control, most days I didn’t want to live anymore. In April of 2015 my doctors planned to start me on Early Onset Dementia medicine. I was 42 years old. In April of 2015, everything changed. I had my first pink drink and supplements. Within a couple of days, the headache I’d had for the past 7 years, went away. Within a couple of weeks my severe headaches ended. Within a month my PMS was better (within 3 months it was gone). Within a couple of months I was off 7 of the 9 prescription medicines. All of this happened while using the triplex and accelerator. When their omega was introduced, I gave it a try. Within a month, my short-term memory recall was much better and within 3 months I was recalling long term memories that I believed were gone forever. Month after month my deep, dark saddness eased up. Today I show no signs of depression. The anxiety eased up after a couple of months, but within 6 months I felt no anxiety at all and was able to take a long 7 day road trip with my son. I now have only 1 doctor that I check in with regularly and my PCP, they are both in agreement that there are currently no signs of me having a traumatic brain injury. To say my pink drink and supplements have changed my life is an understatement. They have given me a life that no one dreamed possible after my injury. I am living proof that gut health can change everything” #guthealth#dementia#anxiety#depression#tbi
#10yearchallenge ... 2009 only headshot type photos were checking the latest damage to the face 😳 ... 2019 only one was from the recent #strongnotsilent mental health campaign
Summary I still try and avoid photos unless for a very specific reason and 10 years on I haven’t stopped a hockey ball with my face for a while 😆
Healing is messy and ugly and takes its sweet fucking time. Only in the surrender moments does healing occurs. 🖤
Know this: if you push, it pushes back. Harder. Surrender.🖤
Let it in.
Let it bleed.
Let it heal.
Let it go.
Surrender❤

Hi everyone! Welcome to my account! I received my Doctorate of Psychology (PsyD) from Rutgers University in 2017. I also completed ~half of Postdoctoral Fellowship at University of California, Los Angeles (due to #tbi ).
.
Throughout my years of education and training, I often found myself curious about my fellow classmates who were opposed to seeing therapists themselves. There can be a lot of valid reasons for defensiveness or resistance, which typically mask underlying fear. Explicit and implicit messages from family, friends, and society shape our beliefs and attributions about a person who “wants” or “needs” a therapist. Perhaps that person is “weak,” “has too many issues,” “can’t be helped,” etc. If that person still seeks out therapy, the person may not feel supported in their decision. The process may become unacceptable and private; it may become not worthy of sharing due to fears of judgment/labeling or continued lack of support.
.
Despite fears and societal misconceptions, I decided to take the plunge and see a therapist while in my doctoral program. Why? Because I knew I would reap the benefits of the wise saying “practice what you preach”. Because I wanted some guidance in managing personal/professional stress. Because I yearned for an even deeper self-awareness and insight that would in turn give me a window into what my future clients could think, feel, or experience in a session. Sure, faculty members in my program recommended that students try therapy, and for me, it was one of the best decisions I ever made.
.
Then and now, I am a firm believer in breaking the stigma about all things mental health. We are ALL human, we ALL have complex emotions and needs, and we ALL deserve help or guidance from others. As an avid information-seeker myself, I hope the information on this account serves to debunk some common myths and misconceptions, sheds light on new perspectives/evidence, and/or encourages you to seek out therapy from a qualified mental health professional.
.
I may be a doctor, but first and foremost, I am authentically human... just like you. ✨

I had a brain injury that was maybe half a year old and a very limited understanding of what that meant for me, and hadn't yet realized that workers comp was supposed to be covering my medical care so when I couldn't afford it anymore I'd had to just... stop. And the new job I'd taken because I couldn't do the old one anymore didn't make half what I'd made when I was working full time. This all must have been looming for a long enough time for me to have, and give, fair warning. I THINK I'd started packing almost a month before I had to go. What I didn't realize was how I could burn out, or that there was a reason I couldn't reliably sort things into categories the way I'd meticulously done into and out of the boxes I'd moved in with. I couldn't plan ahead or track time or follow multiple-step directions let alone make them for myself. So over two more moves, multiple boxes of seemingly unsortable mess have followed along. We started watching Marie Kondo's series on Netflix, which makes the #kondomethod so much clearer sometimes than the book had. Her enthusiasm is infectious. So we're trying it. And what you see here is POUNDS of recycling from more than five years of paperwork, heaps of which had been shoved into shoeboxes and bags back when all I could figure out was that it was important and needed to be kept, maybe, possibly, but couldn't actually read or sort it on my own. A stack of journals were stored away for record keeping and @laurenperkalis is going to help me sort a few packets of remainder. My goal is that by the time we move out of this apartment (which as far as we can forsee won't be until we find and can afford a forever home, which is gonna be awhile) I've completely gone through all my stuff. And this here? This progress? Is an almost indescribable triumph.

Pediatric brain injuries are far more prevalent than most of us realize. The statistics are sobering, and the discovery of the hard truths behind and beyond the numbers is alarming. Medical science can now determine, more than ever before, just how structures in the young brain can be affected by trauma, why they are so vulnerable, and what the long term challenges of early brain insult can ultimately be. Are you aware of just how susceptible the immature brain is to traumatic forces? Do you know the signs and symptoms of brain injury in a child? Just how does a toddler “tell” a parent or grandparent they’ve sustained a potentially significant head injury? This article seeks to answer these and other important questions every family should know. Stay safe out there! #texasscottishritehospital #dallas #pediactricbraininjury #dallaspersonalinjuryattorney #thelawofficesofcharliewaters #legal_waters #traumaticbraininjury #TBI #MTBI please see link in my bio to read this article. Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury.
Depression is an epidemic right now. It is the #1 cause of disability and is projected to be the 2nd leading cause of death behind cardiovascular disease worldwide by 2020. After the age of 12, 11% of Americans take a mental health medication. After menopause, a whopping 53% of women are taking a mental health drug. It’s no surprise that antidepressant medications are a $16 billion industry-but clearly, the gold standard of “CBT and medication” is not working. In my opinion, traditional mental health treatment usually helps people cope with depression rather than fix it altogether. In fact, these statistics indicate to me that out mental health system is a miserable failure. The research truly indicates that depression is often an interplay between genetics, environment, nutrition, and lifestyle. It’s time to overhaul our approach in helping people understand mood. Over the next 2 weeks, I will be focusing on the biggest underlying factors which cause, fuel, and maintain depression. Some of these are rarely discussed and may surprise you. 💖#MaverickMom #Depression #MentalHealth #SAD #WinterBlues #Antidepressants

(1/3)January 14th marked two years since my injury. Many people assume that since it’s been so long, and that I look perfectly fine, that I am better and continuously improving. But, in reality that’s not the case. The case is that recovery is not a straight line- far from it actually. I can go months without improving, and can even get worse! I am still affected by, quite literally, everything. To give a few simple facts: I cannot drive, let alone be a passenger in a car, (with my weighted blanket, and anti-nausea bands,etc) for longer than 30 minutes without a really long break. My surroundings still always “move”, and I cannot hold a focus… There's no reading books, or freely watching tv. I can't cook all of my meals, or put my laundry away whenever I want to. Hell, I can’t even shower when I want to. Some days, my symptoms make it that just making my bed is literally the only thing I can do for the day. I truly depend on my family and doctors to get me through. As much as I don’t want to rely on medications, it’s something that has to be done for now. There’s never a moment that I feel “normal”, because my symptoms are a constant, endless cycle. But every day I’m grateful. Grateful for any of the small steps that HAVE been made, and the power to keep moving. Maybe it’s not about all that I’ve been through, or trying to paint the perfect picture of my every struggle, or the longevity of it… Maybe it’s about showing people that no matter how bad something is, or how long it lasts, life is still beautiful and worth living. So here I am, reminding you in the depths of your darkest times, or in the heights of your greatest moments…. That there is something to be grateful for. That there is something to keep on fighting for. That now, is the only time you are certain to have. Both the highs and lows of life creates the most perfect imperfect beauty. You are powerful and resilient. An overcomer. A warrior. And have the ability to choose who you want to become. … I hope something in my “730 Days” poem, can act as a reminder, something to relate to, or a beacon of hope...Thank you to those who continue to support me!

I’m not lazy like a vegetable though. In fact my sis and I have been doing balance exercises every morning with the start of the new year. I was right there with ya. During my glory days when I was running every day and on the track team, I thought that balance exercises were pointless because they were SO easy. Needless to say, they’re not as easy as they once were. Anything but hard though. I can’t believe that I wasn’t doing them the whole time that I’ve been home from the hospital! Starting with the basics of walking. 🚶 You have to be able to stand before you can walk. Walk before you can run. You don’t have to weight train to be strong.🙄 #fitness #balance #balanceexercises #gritface #training #weighttraining #tbi

🇺🇸To my 20.4 million fellow Vets: Many of you continue to struggle with PTSD, TBI, depression, anxiety, panic disorder, chronic adjustment disorder, lethargy, confusion and social impairment which has led to detachment, insomnia, hypertension, unemployment and more. I wish I had more answers for you, all I can I do is encourage you to hold your head up; evoke that military warrior in you to find the strength, courage and resilience to acclimate yourself to civilian life. It will not be easy, but you deserve and are fully capable of being fulfilled with LOVE, ABUNDANCE, WISDOM and SERVICE.

I rushed out the door one morning and by the end of the day had one of the worst shut downs I’ve had in several months. My body locks into flexion, my joints throb and after hours of pushing through the urge to curl into a ball, sound and light become physically painful. It gets to the point that I am muffling screaming between breaths. I was in so much discomfort that I didn’t even realize What was wrong until the next day. I have discovered what a profound affect Kinesio-tape has on my life (along with other techniques I neglected that day as well). This video is the most vulnerable thing I have ever brought in to the light. In the past I associated weakness with unworthiness. I was so ashamed of my pain and the sensory overload that goes with it. I would disappear for hours and lie about what I was doing. Often having to nap on the floor in janitor closets or gas station bathrooms until my system would recover. In those moments I think I have no answers, no resources, and little hope. The next day I realized how long it had been since I had felt that way. This used to happen in FULL force five or six times a day and now I experience an incredibly mild version of this maybe three times a week. I know the warning signs and can use nervous system resets to make most everything bearable enough to come in to the light AND KICKASS !!! I am still perfecting this action plan and testing its limits on myself in full intensity this year. I am so excited to show you no one has to suffer in silence. To show you how to lean in, reach out, and speak up in every area of your life! Love yourself my lone little wolves!

Healing from a concussion not only affects you physically but also mentally and spiritually. I personally believe it is mental battle more than a physical. My basketball coach would tell my team, if the other team can defeat you mentally then they’ve already won. And I found that the same goes for brain injuries. If you believe you will never recover, you will not! Change the way you think about your recovery and what you expect from it and your body will adjust accordingly💙💙 #HappyHealingEverybody #ConcussionBeGone • • #concussionawareness #traumaticbraininjurysurvivor #concussionrecovery #concussiontherapy #traumaticbraininjuryawareness #tbi #tbisurvivor #tbiawareness #concussionssuck #concussionlife #concussionawareness #concussionmanagement #concussioncoach #concussionprotocol #healing #mindbodyspirit

Being a Woman playing a "Man's" sport is never easy but, being a Woman playing a "Man's" sport with major health complications, now that makes it ten times harder. What a lot of people don't know is, just how much hard work that it took to get me where I am today. I didn't become a 2x World Champion over night. It took time, training, perservence, and lots of criticism (people weren't always nice either). All that criticism and negative feedback from people fueled my fire and drive. Despite my afflictions I continue to strive and be the best I can be, not just in hockey, but in all aspects of my life.

Had to stop at Target this morning to pick up my much needed propranolol* & ended up buying some extras too. I was going to get the light up with sounds Captain Marvel globe but it wasn’t a set! It was only one glove! I literally said, out loud to no one, “but both her fists sparkle”. Anyhow, Toothless has always reminded me of Toki & he makes a growl dragon noise when you squeeze him. I’m an adult. *the propranolol is to keep me from getting post-concussion migraines. I’ve been trying to get this refilled for 2wks, been without it for 1 & each time I’ve requested my dr refill it (3x), they’ve refilled my flexeril each time. I’ve gotten 3 refills for the same thing in the span of 2wks. Right now, I’m not doing well at all & I’m at work waiting to get a call back from my dr. I’m probably gonna have to call my mom to pick me up from work because, I don’t know if you’ve ever tried driving with a concussion & executive function dysfunction, but it’s not a good thing. #disabled #TBI #traumaticbraininjury #colorado
〰️ Dirt ‘n’ tings 〰️ I’ve been looking a lot more recently at what goes into our cleaning and beauty products- particularly what I clean the house with, and what harmful chemicals go into them. Eira’s health needing extra care means that I’m trying very hard to figure out how to make food and products we use as beneficial to our health as possible. I’m absolutely useless in this field as I love cleaning and I love products that “work” and I’ve always thought natural alternatives wouldn’t get things as clean as I want them. If any of you have any tips, brands or recipes you use for replacing potentially harmful chemicals with gentle alternatives, PLEASE let me know! I’d love it if, when we move into our new place, I had a lovely stock of cleaning stuff that I wasn’t terrified of the kids getting hold of! PS, a year ago I would have laughed if you’d told me I’d be posting this. Don’t ever be afraid to learn new things, even if it means seeing that you weren’t as smart as you thought before 💖

Anatomy of a Brain Overload People call it many things #Flooding , #BrainOverload , #AnxietyAttack , #Trigger ... 1. I woke up later this morning than usual, I had trouble sleeping so my #NoiseCanceling earbuds were used all night while I listened to something calming. 2. I felt pretty good when I woke up. Not energetic but good. I opened my door and Buddy #puppy was there and we took some time for #PuppieCuddles 3. My Grandfather got his own Coffee and Breakfast together (Small Victory when he does, it's not easy being caretaker and patient) 4. Had a nice talk with my son before he left for school. 5. I was having a pretty good morning. 6. The dogs started to bark. 7. Loud machines started. 8. I got #disoriented and sick to my stomach 9. #PainSpike 10. Everything seems louder and more confusing. 11. #Panic sets in ---All the sounds; machines and my dogs #OverloadedmyBrain 12. I went to grab my noise canceling earbuds. The battery is dead. 13. I set up where I can change them and put them on. They hum while charging. 14. The hum hurts my head as well. 15. Further panic and I'm at a loss 16. I go to the quietest room and ride out the storm. 17. Things are quieter now, but my headache is up, and my exhaustion level is higher. I hope my post lets some people know they are not alone and help #friends , #family , and #caretakers have a small glimpse in. #concussion #tbi #anxiety #braininjury #depression #concussionlife #pain #mentalhealth #chronicpain #health #wellbeing #recovery #mentalfatigue #fitnessjourney

💓 The smile on my face can’t even compare to the beam felt across my heart when this photo was papped this week at @zoe.e.fox and @djkanednb baby fox cub shower 💓 . . It was my first time at a social gathering since October, when I had a brain relapse 🤯 which had me bed bound in vertigo for 5 weeks. It wiped me out 😰 you could turn this smile totally upside down and that is the strength of the sadness and solitude I felt at the time 😔 Holding conversations when in vertigo is near on impossible, so you gotta get verrry comfortable in your own skin. December I hopped back in the oxygen chambers and could do one on one catch ups, the treatments are now kicking in and back feeling stronger, and so ready to come and find YOU!!! Every day when the world stays straight feels like such a blessing nowadays! 😝🌎 And as always after I’ve been offline in my little shell.... ✨I’ve missed you✨ ... and now still to remember to go easssyyy, and not get too excited and floor myself again! 🤪 . . All my brain warriors out there how do you manage to keeping progressing whilst staying out of relapse zone? 🧐 would love your advice! . . Thanks for the photo @collettejwarren and the soul fulfilling afternoon Zoe and Kane 💞 You’re on the hit list next @emlew80 !! 😆

Serious post alert: This picture sums it up. While Canadian vets enjoy coverage for their cannabis from Veterans Affairs Canada, our allies to the south still face losing their treatment benefits, or even jail time for medicating with cannabis. This is straight up bullshit. We walked the same roads, got in the same firefights, lost mutual friends and bled into the same dirt, yet they are still fighting for their right to heal. For those south of the border, you are in our thoughts and we are here to help any way we can. We are still with you. #canada #unitedstates #dva #vac #cannabis #relief #ptsd #tbi #arthritis #chronicpain #war #afghanistan #recovery @wfw_project @sean_kiernan_wfwp @beardbrospharms @herb @wfwcannabis @operation1620 @oaf_nation

From @opbphoto - Psychedelic Mushroom Supporters Push For Oregon Legalization .. “Nobody’s going to be taking psilocybin home with them to administer to themselves, which means that there will be none in public, no one driving,” said Tom Eckert, one of the leaders of a campaign to legalize psilocybin. .. Eckert and his wife, Sheri, are the co-sponsors of the Psilocybin Service Initiative, a push to get legalization on the 2020 ballot. The first thing they want voters to know is that they’re not following the model of legalization used by cannabis proponents. ..

YOU GOT THIS.
🧠Traumatic brain Injury is a disturbance of brain function resulting from an impact to the head. Although this type of injury is high amongst professional athletes and children, other common causes include accidental falls, blunt-force-trauma, and car accidents. This is a very serious disease process that affects 1.5 million Americans annually, accounts for 30% of all injury related deaths, and kills 153 people everyday. Symptoms range from mild to severe and include headaches, nausea, trouble sleeping, trouble focusing, memory loss, and impaired vision. Due to the nature of the injury, TBI may manifest psychological symptoms such as irritability, anger, aggression, mood swings, and impulsive behavior. - 👁Follow @ketogeniccom for more information on the Keto Cause. - #keto #tbi #tbisurvivor #braininjury #tbiawareness #ketogeniccommunity #ketoandtbi #ketolife #ketolifestyle #ketocommunity #ketogeniccom #ketocause
Stromie Sarah: I thought if I kept rubbing my eyes they would suddenly go back to normal. But they didn’t. It was almost like there was something stuck in my eyes. It was as if I had double vision. • After a week or so following my hemorrhagic stroke, I was able to verbalize that my vision wasn’t quite right. It was hard to put into words (not just because of the aphasia haha). A visual field test revealed I had Hemianopsia, which is blindness in half the visual field. It's often caused by strokes; in my situation, my strokes happened in the left side of my brain therefore I cannot see out of the right side of both of my eyes. • Not only was I learning how to talk and walk and function without much sensation on the right side of my body, I couldn’t see very well! Sheesh! • My first questions was, what’s the prognosis? Well, it wasn’t good. I was referred to an ophthalmologist who treats low vision. She recommended a program that could be done on my home computer that trains my eyes to stretch my vision to the right. • One of my very generous college friends gifted me the money to be able to purchase the program. I will never be able to repay her or put into words how thankful I am for what she gave me. Where it has helped me the most is in my central vision. See my pictures for details. • The top pictures are from 2016 and the bottom are from 15 months later after performing the vision restoration therapy. • In addition, I went through a driver rehabilitation program which helped me learn how to drive with low vision. I constantly have to scan while I am driving. It is exhausting! I do not like to drive on the interstate or go places and which I’ve never been. Not only is my vision a problem, but it is hard for me to multitask between the GPS and driving. • I used to race cars in my youth and thought that I truly was too fast and too furious. Now I drive like a senior citizen and I am proud of it! If you see a lady with purple hair driving under the speed limit in Omaha, give her grace. I am not texting. I am not changing the radio station. I am not distracted. I am just enjoying the luxury of driving.

I wish Mark Zuckerberg would reclassify @Facebook and tell people what it actually really is. It's an anti-social Network. We are attached to these touch screens and we are losing touch with what is important in our lives. People. People are important. You look at this device and you have an illusion of the fact that you can instantly be connected with people. While connecting with others we are losing the connection we have with our self, our community, and our planet. People who do not understand addiction truly do not recognize the fact that they are hooked on technology. They should have a warning label on them warning people of the potential risks for addiction and long-term harm and possibility of receiving digital dementia. What's going on online should never affect what you're doing in your day-to-day life negatively. Yet when you see children committing suicide because they were bullied in school and bullied online when they went home from school it just kind of makes you wonder. Is this crap really worth it all? At what cost? This is going to be interesting to see over the next however many years how it all plays itself out. Be careful because absolute power corrupts absolutely! #Life #Philosophy #Technology #EmbraceTheSuck #Knowledge #TheStruggleIsReal #GimpinAintEasy #TBI #SCI #NursingHomeLife #CBD #THC #Health #MentalHealth
“My name is Kristy Estes Barkley and I am a traumatic brain injury survivor, sustained from multiple concussions. In 2008 I lost what I felt was everything important to me. I had to retire from my amazing job in the NHL and give up my dream of getting my PhD. My "severe head pains" had me in bed at least 4 days a week.😔 My PMS was so bad that I asked for a divorce every month. I often got lost going to simple places. The social anxiety I had was paralyzing, I couldn’t keep up with conversations if more than 1 person was involved, I often forgot my friends names or significant things about them, I wasn’t able to respond in a timely manner to any questions, so I just stopped doing anything social at all. My down in the dumps spiraled out of control, most days I didn’t want to live anymore. In April of 2015 my doctors planned to start me on Early Onset Dementia medicine. I was 42 years old. In April of 2015, everything changed. I had my first pink drink and supplements. Within a couple of days, the headache I’d had for the past 7 years, went away. Within a couple of weeks my severe headaches ended. Within a month my PMS was better (within 3 months it was gone). Within a couple of months I was off 7 of the 9 prescription medicines. All of this happened while using the triplex and accelerator. When their omega was introduced, I gave it a try. Within a month, my short-term memory recall was much better and within 3 months I was recalling long term memories that I believed were gone forever. Month after month my deep, dark saddness eased up. Today I show no signs of depression. The anxiety eased up after a couple of months, but within 6 months I felt no anxiety at all and was able to take a long 7 day road trip with my son. I now have only 1 doctor that I check in with regularly and my PCP, they are both in agreement that there are currently no signs of me having a traumatic brain injury. To say my pink drink and supplements have changed my life is an understatement. They have given me a life that no one dreamed possible after my injury. I am living proof that gut health can change everything” #guthealth #dementia #anxiety #depression #tbi
Ferns. Interesting fact about ferns is they reproduce via spores like tree fungus and don't have seeds or flowers. #PhotoOfTheDay #Fern #Ferns #GreenEvenInWinter #BrainAneurysm #RupturedBrainAneurysm #TBI #Disabled #Challenged #Survivor #Outdoors #Nature #NatureLover #Travel #TravelAdventures #Hike #Hiking #HikingAdventures #Mountains #Forest #Waterfalls #Creeks #AWalkInTheWoods #TravelPhotography #NaturePhotography #Photography #Canon #ReallyRightStuff #GodDoesMiracles #GodsAmazingWorld
#10yearchallenge ... 2009 only headshot type photos were checking the latest damage to the face 😳 ... 2019 only one was from the recent #strongnotsilent mental health campaign Summary I still try and avoid photos unless for a very specific reason and 10 years on I haven’t stopped a hockey ball with my face for a while 😆

Hi everyone! Welcome to my account! I received my Doctorate of Psychology (PsyD) from Rutgers University in 2017. I also completed ~half of Postdoctoral Fellowship at University of California, Los Angeles (due to #tbi ). . Throughout my years of education and training, I often found myself curious about my fellow classmates who were opposed to seeing therapists themselves. There can be a lot of valid reasons for defensiveness or resistance, which typically mask underlying fear. Explicit and implicit messages from family, friends, and society shape our beliefs and attributions about a person who “wants” or “needs” a therapist. Perhaps that person is “weak,” “has too many issues,” “can’t be helped,” etc. If that person still seeks out therapy, the person may not feel supported in their decision. The process may become unacceptable and private; it may become not worthy of sharing due to fears of judgment/labeling or continued lack of support. . Despite fears and societal misconceptions, I decided to take the plunge and see a therapist while in my doctoral program. Why? Because I knew I would reap the benefits of the wise saying “practice what you preach”. Because I wanted some guidance in managing personal/professional stress. Because I yearned for an even deeper self-awareness and insight that would in turn give me a window into what my future clients could think, feel, or experience in a session. Sure, faculty members in my program recommended that students try therapy, and for me, it was one of the best decisions I ever made. . Then and now, I am a firm believer in breaking the stigma about all things mental health. We are ALL human, we ALL have complex emotions and needs, and we ALL deserve help or guidance from others. As an avid information-seeker myself, I hope the information on this account serves to debunk some common myths and misconceptions, sheds light on new perspectives/evidence, and/or encourages you to seek out therapy from a qualified mental health professional. . I may be a doctor, but first and foremost, I am authentically human... just like you. ✨ . #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #psychotherapy #psychology #insight
