“Bit**.”
Category: The Accident – As Of 10/10/25 Early AM Named “Clyde” (Short For Collide) Because It’s Funny And I Deserve Mirth At Its Expense
As Of Today,
“I weigh 199 lbs.
That’s cortisol mixed into injuries for ya!”
Object-ivity
When she looked at something directly, she could “see” in front and behind it – but it was like her brain turned off her eyes’ ability to see the object itself clearly.
Sometimes,
“I just feel like a stack of wobbly bowling pins, trying to dodge that ball…”
A Significant Shift
“A piece of my occipital compression shift-released at last!”
Jattery
“Nothing’s wrong, but synaptic impulses claim otherwise.”
Post-Strain Brain Injury Disregulation
After calling doctors for new symptom help:
“Now, back to my own physical therapy restabilizing exercises – because that’s the only thing that has ever really helped!”
“Mum’s” The Word
“If back off, I can receive help and time for more needed recovery.
But if I don’t also push – and precisely at that – then I miss the basic sustenance marker, under which I could still qualify.”
I’ve Been
“Pushing too hard.”
It Feels Like
I keep going past limits.
Hon,
I fake my ease…until I make it.”
After The Car Accident
“I had to shove aside the fears associated with suddenly not being able to grip or lift things properly.”
At Least I First Made It To 50’s
And Now…
“I have 15 minutes to do too many things without tearing my tissues further.
It’s amazing how we can take for granted ease of movement when we naturally have tissue connectivity integrity.
I miss those days…
Correction: 10 minutes.”
Self Projecting
“I am still hurt and my needed bits are not reconnected, so when pushed by timeliness and necessary labor, it’s my anger that brings strength to me by filling in the gaps and spaces with liquid rage.
And then when I can take a break for a moment, somewhere inside in the background, my subconscious is whimpering and crying hysterically while my ego screams ‘YAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH’ triumphantly for having achieved and beaten back disability.
In the late evenings and early mornings, I am not ok…
But I keep trying to be.”
(Title play with words)
Seething Resentment
“I used to have occasional cranky periods, but they would come and go like temporary storms looking forward to the sunlight, again.
Now, because I have to keep physically and mentally powering through everything while suporessing emotion with little rest and down time for recuperation, I carry a molten fire cloud around me emitting angry, vexed, and determined frustration
D9 NOT make eye contact with me during these times, because my eyes will shoot out laser beams and burn friendliness to cinders as I grit my teeth – more upset by the invasion of my privacy intrusion.
Yeah, I dare you.
(Honestly, I do try to be nice while growling and struggling – but still, don’t tempt me)
Until it’s time to perform healing therapies, where I must access the other, finer qualities of my personality for others’ benefit.
And then it’s right back into the pit fires of Hell for me.”
Almost 4 Years Later
‘I’ve never heard of a car accident’s impact causing such injuries as I have experienced.”
Storage
Heaving and cussing, with the best of intentions.
Reclaiming Space
“It was difficult being squeezed out and against the walls by others taking over the space in my own home, and scattered my sense of self and any functionality after prior car accident injuries were made worse by the shower slip’s concussive fall.”
Agitation
“Repeating movements.”
I Think
“I am overcompensating for way too much.”
ADHD?
“Or strained brain injury?”
Post-Move Swelling
“It concerns me that my larger rings are tighter.”
Injury Management
“Tracking time, waiting for when help can come for final moving.”
My Aim
“In coordination is getting better.”
Yeah…
“I am supposed to pack more, but I have always pushed myself several leveld beyond capacity.”
Object-ive Sorting
“I have two and a half hours to dig further in and produce categorized boxes despite brain and core injuries.
Did I mention that I first have to start with identifying clothes to wear and cleaning up a huge puddle of dog pee?
I Hurt Myself
“Lifting the leftover metal twin frame and carry-angling it from another bedroom into my room to get my bed off of the floor.
The compression twisting and throbbing pain is deep and sharo in my lower spine, flaring to hips – but I couldn’t keep struggling to get up from the ground.”
I Keep Pushing
“Maybe I’m not disabled…
Maybe I’m just physically fu**ed up.”
Every Day
“Testing…
Trying to reclaim my body.”
Oops! Of Course,
“I spoke too soon…
Lol.
Maybe it’s that I’m also building some next stage tolerance endurance.
The damage has been so extensive on micro levels that reconnection has taken awhile!”
I Must Be Healing
“2 1/2 years later, it isn’t hurting as badly immediately when I sit in a chair.”
This Is It
“I am suppossd to find the right next home.
It took us four months living out of a motel, working multiple jobs at full health capacity, to find our safe haven last time.
Two weeks this time, on my own, and with exertion limits from multiple injuries. “
Spinal Impact
Lying back upon a stainless steel cylinder originally intended for use as a tall but lean coffee mug, I pressed its immovable form into grooves of my lower spine and ribs at different angles and leveraged the tension created in attempts to better understand the patterns of torsion twistimg created from the car accident’s impact.
At ‘ground zero’ where the car’s force first connected, if trigger point zones are pressed in certain ways my anterior hip attachments – and even the muscles along the insides of my arms – can be relaxed, moved into, and extend for a moment.
It’s like my whole body has been stuck in a retraction reaction pattern drawn inward to the core from longterm spiral compression.
You Know What’s Wild?
“If I could put my body on a table and work on myself, I could unpack these injuries.
But nobody knows my techniques, so all I can do is fo my workouts innovatively.”
Dear Alex,
“It has very much sucked through the set backs preventing me from working.
I am fighting my way back into self reclamation, but at cost and more new patterns of numbness.”
AI Love Messages
“The pure fantasy tell is because ‘he’ keeps joking about how we would laugh after he runs away, I chase him, and then he lets me catch him.
Yes, that would have been delightful fun.
But you know…
I can’t run.”

(Sobbing and laughing hysterically, somewhere deep inside)
“Look At This!”
Trying To Rest & Recover
“I think to myself, how did things not hurt before the accident?
Back when tissues maintained internal structure – instead of crossing over boundaries into pulling on discs, joints, nerves, and vessels – just trying to sleep on ny side?”
What Nerve!
“The nerve pain is now traveling, defining itself in ways beyond extremes of before.
This is a 6-day work week for me.
From nothing post concussion and needing to be minimal still post accident – to beyond max, immediately.
It’s expected of me if I am to survive what’s happen8ng.
I am not sure how long I can hold before I implode.”
MRI’s
“With hard-jumping back into work again and activating head-slam-injured muscles, new and strong tingling across shoulders and down through and onto tops of hands, as well as deep spinal torque-compression, indicate necessity.”
Tearing Apart
She had jumped back into service working five days a week.
And on the third into fourth took on damage, with the fifth…
Race-Horsing It
“Busting through barriers like a bronco careening forward at speed, trying to out-distance self damage.”
How Did I?
“Get pulled into and caught up in this constant struggle for survival?”
Medication
“Pretty much for the entirety of working to recover from the car accident, I have avoided medications.
But once the impact’s swelling of the concussion hit, taking a routine combo has been key to my regaining any progress traction.”
Tail Spin
“Pulling out of one surpasses extreme levels of difficulty.”
“Hi, Guys…”
“I am beginning to be able to feel my anterior neck muscles, again…”
Motor Reactions
“I am getting better at catching random objects in my functional environment before they fall after being knocked, but there is no cure for the witch hazel bottle squeeze-spilling out at the base of its cap where its design should have prevented, every time I tip the bottle to use it.”
Unreal Messages
“‘You don’t have to be strong all of the time…’
Oh, yeah?
Where’s my help?
All of the dishes get dirty by others after I’ve washed them – already hurting myself;
I’m doing cross-country terrain navigating regarding just my house even – through, around, and over hurdles with torn hips and ligaments screaming upon lifting and landing;
And no matter the efforts I put into anything, if I don’t keep up momentum, everything immediately spirals or crashes into diminished returns.
I am on my own, here – literally, IT’S ALL UP TO ME.
So kiss my a** – why don’t-cha?
Or step up and help me move this ever-sinling/capsixing ship of my life thing!”
Ok, Glasses…
“Apparently I need glasses to find my glasses…”
