My heart goes out to anyone who is dealing with a brain injury and the challenges it brings, especially when it comes to compulsive behavior. I too have been struggling with this after my brain injury, and it’s been a rollercoaster of emotions and setbacks. But you know what? I’ve learned that it’s okay to not be okay all the time. It’s okay to take small steps towards progress, even if it feels like it’s taking forever. Surrounding myself with a supportive community and seeking professional help has been a game-changer for me. I’ve found that with the right resources and mindset, it’s possible to manage compulsive behaviors and find moments of peace. So to anyone else who is going through this, please know that you’re not alone, and there is hope for brighter days ahead.
