I obtained my a Traumatic Brain Injury in 2008 when I was15 years old. Today I am 23 and wonder, am I a survivor? I lost the my sense of self when I obtained this injury. I do not have a lot of emotional feeling, I go through each day in a zombie like mind set. I feel like I will live the rest of my life with a five year old childlike mindset. My caretakers say that I am high functioning, but in reality I have learned the main way to have a "good" day is to:not dream of the future, don't be seen or heard and to stay in my bed room as much as possible.

I am a lesbian and my caretakers are from Africa and are Christian, Christian people do not always agree with homosexual people and have a closed mind. I feel like an abandoned child who is having trouble making sense of my word. I used to SH to help me cope but when my caretakers flippers about it, I started smoking cigarettes. I am constantly hitched at for smoking anddrinking to much coffee, just to name a few. I wish that I didn't live after obtaining a Traumatic brain injury.
