TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY

I FEEL...

ANGRY I can't do anything the way I used to
FRUSTRATED I can't finish what I start because I lose my thoughts
HELPLESS I can't do anything for myself
ISOLATED I can't fit in anywhere
BROKEN I can't imagine anybody wanting me
LONELY I can't understand why my friends have abandoned me
HOPELESS I can't see any future for me
