Welcome.

Your whole day is taken up with your charge if you are lucky to get out for a few hours you never really enjoy as your mind is at home worrying if everything is ok you phone home several times, the carer role can be very lonely and for lots of different reasons you may be to tired to socialise friends may not want to enter your new world or you might not even want to talk to people as you speak a different language now and that language is brain injury. A carer can never guarantee what time they will go to bed it depends on their loved ones condition that day and when we get to bed our minds do not rest we worry what tomorrow will bring. I have been one of the lonely carers and I decided to stand up and be heard to speak up for carers and offer my support in any way I can, If you are starting out as a caregiver I will support you, you don’t have to be isolated people do want to help you remember a problem shared is a problem halved please don’t be ashamed to say “hey I need help” one of the best places to start for making wonderful friends is TBIChat I will put the url below for you, You can mail me I will lend you a shoulder you might learn to laugh again, Carers please you are not alone this site is for you as I know the long road you travel.
