Did you know?

1. Adjusting to life with a neuro condition:
Learning to accept and adjust after an injury can take time– it represents a huge change to life as you know it. Many people go through a series of different emotions, such as anger or denial, before they can accept their new circumstances and adjust to them. Most people move on from these feelings in their own time, but if you are finding it difficult to accept your situation, help is available.

2. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Up to 1 in 3 people who survive a subarachnoid hemorrhage are thought to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) – a natural reaction to the trauma of surviving a life-threatening situation. After a close brush with death, they may become aware of their mortality and are much more anxious about health or other issues.

3. Finding people in similar situations
Once you have come to terms with your situation, turning to others who can relate can be helpful. Other people can help you realize there is life after your injury.

4. Looking to the future (being realistic)
Set small, achievable goals. Working towards a goal can help you have a sense of purpose and fill you with a sense of achievement when you successfully fulfill it.

5. Relationships with friends and family
You may rely more on friends and family now than before your injury. You may also find it hard to talk to friends and family because they don’t know what to say or how to act around you. The best thing you can do is cultivate important relationships and not be scared to ask for help. Be direct and how you feel and what you need.

“Occupational therapy practitioners have a holistic perspective, in which the focus is on adapting the environment and/or task to fit the person, and the person is an integral part of the therapy team. It is an evidence-based practice deeply rooted in science” (AOTA, 2023).
