![]() ![]() The time following stroke is a huge adjustment period, and you need to give yourself permission to rest all you can, and give yourself all the love and care that you can. I would also encourage you to be patient with yourself, you have just had your first child (congrats), and a stroke in less that three months! That is a lot, emotionally, physically and you are still recovering from all of it. It was my friends that pointed it out, and I caught myself doing it all the time. I also went through a phase where I had no censorship on my thoughts, and since my brain was still under repair, the words often came out very bluntly, and often confusion and frustration came out with the words. That's why these boards are so helpful.we've all definitely walked a mile in each other's shoes, so to speak. I'm finding that it seems very difficult for many people to truly understand illnesses that they haven't, themselves, actually experienced. I don't think my family really gets it, though.they think that since I can talk clearly and articulately most of the time, then it must mean that I'm 100% recovered. Meanwhile, I've got some very wonderful friends who are quite understanding and supportive.and their patience when I'm having trouble communicating well is just so wonderful. I don't know if I'll ever be exactly the same as I was before the stroke, but I'm quite grateful it wasn't worse. I had what I've been told was a very mild stroke (left central brain), and 5 months afterwards, I still get quite easily fatigued and, especially when I'm fatigued, I often have great difficulty in expressing my thoughts.they just don't come out quite right. And perhaps you and your husband could work out a way for him to gently guide you when your thoughts are coming out jumbled, or you're frustrated because it's so difficult to communicate clearly? ![]() It may just be that you're still struggling with the brain effects of the stroke and it may still improve.some understanding from others around you would be quite nice here. When you say that "you're angry all of the time, you just blurt things out without thinking about them first, and you're just horrible".is that how you, yourself, actually feel? Or is that what your husband is telling you that he and others feel about you? If it's the latter, some counseling for both you and your husband may be in order, as you both struggle to deal with the aftermath of your stroke. ![]()
