Encephalitis after effects

Newsgurl · Apr 12, 2019

ok so I had encephalitis like 22 years ago and ever since I was about 11 I’ve been struggling with self harm and Suicide I was just wondering is this a normal thing to be like this 24/7 after having traumatic brain injury or is it just me. I keep praying to God that it will go away and I won’t have to be on so much meds but it keeps getting worse and more meds increase. Somebody give me some advice on how to get these thoughts of doing these things to myself out of my head b/c I want to live a normal life like everybody else and not be like this.

Praying, and I would also recommend that you see a therapist about these thoughts. Also, talk to your doctor who's prescribing you these medicines as you could be having some adverse effect.

I started thinking these thoughts before I was on meds to I wish I could c my therapist but I can’t get in to c him till next month. Every day is a choice for me I have one part of me that says keep living and the other part saying to give up. I don’t plan out my future b/c idk if there will b a tomorrow for me with all these thoughts going through my head every day. I take each day as a blessing that I’m still here and alive

This may sound like an odd question, but what's your diet like? Do you tend to eat a lot of sugar (snack foods, candy, etc.) / drink a lot of soda / pop? Sugar, additives, chemicals, and artificial ingredients in many foods can make mental and physical health issues much worse. Example; refined sugar messes with my joints, mood swings, depression, and causes exhaustion.

When I lay off those things and stick to whole grains, fish, eggs, water, and veggies, I feel a lot better.

Yeah basically I’ve been eating junk food b/c it’s easy to grab and go when I’m at work but I need to eat healthier and get in a group with some positive ppl in my town
