So, you may be wondering; what is this guy writing about and why is he writing it? Well, you see, I feel the need to explain things because I don't think that people really understand what it's like to live with a head injury.

I have dealt with depression all of my life. I am a head injury survivor. The ways in which I deal with depression are: I take walks, I go jogging, I go see a movie, I laugh a lot, I watch comedy.

The medical community has come a long way in science. We have more opportunity and help than ever before. When it comes to medication, sometimes I feel like a science experiment because it's not all cut and dry.

Life was very hard for me. My problem solving skills were very poor. Every time a problem would come up; my mind would automatically go to a place where I would think about suicide. It didn't matter how big or small the problem was, I would just always start thinking about ways of killing myself.

I was three and a half years old when I was hit by a car. The year was 1974. If I remember correctly; I think it was sometime in April, I only know this because I remember seeing some medical documents that were in my record.

I guess one of the most frustrating things is that when somebody is trying to explain how to do something to me, and for some reason I just don't get it.
