I’m glad I woke up this morning even tho I sometimes regret it my life has been flipped upside down I had a stroke last august it’s almost been 8 months and I’m not getting much better I feel like giving up because I won’t ever reach my goals I had set for myself I had a good job I wanted a truck a house not I can’t drive and I stay with my sister in a trailer house life really sucks
Don’t give up,,, hang in there
Are you getting any physical therapy help?
Yeah once a week both physical and occupational
I’m glad to hear that. Are you able to do any home exercises or therapy? Do they have a home plan for you?
Yeah but the dr told me that sense it’s been so long that my improvements will be far and few inbetween so most likely I’m gonna be stuck like this
So you do therapy sessions twice a week with one being PT and one being OT? Or do they have you doing both at one session?
Separately
I’m sorry you are having to go through this. I know it’s terribly challenging. I hope you can keep going to PT and OT and working that opportunity as much as you can. You don’t want to give up and stay home! GOOD therapists are good therapy all around.

Easier said then done only thing that I have to look forward to is driving right now I depend on rides from my medical company that show up when they want so it’s not much to look forward too
Just hold on to God's unchanging hands believe keep your faith alive Does get better in time .
Maybe this will help, by setting goals~ that involves the future which is not how AA works. Change your goal to see how many 24 hour. It will take you to get there one day at a time,
I gave up on believing cause when this happened I had been sober for a year good job a nice car and things we’re looking up then boom I wake up in the hospital and I couldn’t move the whole right side of my body
