Cracked Skull with Bruised Temporal Lobes

In January 2007 I was in a car accident with my ex-boyfriend. I had a lot of trauma to the head, and it cracked my skull which bruised my temporal lobes on both sides of my brain. He left me for a 15-year-old after all of the crap he has done to me, and OH! that was swell on my messed up, bruised mind! My emotions were already off the wall as they were, and he just made it worse.

It's over a year later and I can't take it anymore!!! The hit to my head really whacked up my emotions and my way of thinking. It gets really scary; I start thinking about things I haven't normally thought before. For instance, I thought of many ways to mutilate my ex by making him eat his own liver. Yeah, that's normal thinking! Also, my current boyfriend and I usually play around, but I would be in a happy mood for two minutes and then all of a sudden, I'm beating the hell out of him!

I don't mean to do these things, but my family doesn't understand what's going on with me. I try to explain how it feels for me, but they say I'm just using my brain damage as a crutch to be a brat. It hurts me so bad because that's not the case! I was the perfectly normal, sweet, kind, loving, Southern Belle and this suddenly happens. I don't know why it had to happen to me.

I figured they would compare my past to what's happening now, and they would think, "Hey! Something is going on! Maybe we should pay attention!" I cry a lot because they yell at me when I have my aggressive episodes, but I can't help it. I really, honestly cannot help at what comes out of me. I try to control it, but it's really painful when I try to hold it back. I don't know what to do! Please.. Any helpful advice? Any at all?! I just can't take it anymore.

Always remember you have control over yourself...Don't blame this on anything, not even your accident. I've heard of several automobile accidents involving head trauma and very rarely do bipolar symptoms occur but emotional distress is however common by what I hear which may not be true.

it may not have anything to do with your crash at all. it could be bi-polar. which is what it sounds like to me. a lot of bipolar clients i work with have up and down mood changes like yours, that go from 0-10 in 60 seconds, and many of them do and think things that they normally wouldnt. this is called a manic episode. 3 ash

In my opinion, your episodes could be from the damage you suffered in the accident, but also because you have not forgiven your ex for what he has done to you. The best things you can do are; Study up on what usually happens when you suffer the kind of damage you have, so you know what to expect through life. Also, get therapy. Really what is going on is that yes your brain isnt the same as it used to be but you dont have to stay this way forever. Getting therapy and letting out all your frustration will do wonders to improve your mood. If you cannot afford therapy, find some one or some people that will listen to you and respect what you are going through. Best of luck to you.
