I’m having a really hard time right now -  I am in recovery from a TBI and trying to cope with feeling SOOO unproductive and like a failure. I have a new puppy who I love very much but am experiencing a lot of anxiety because of the big change in my life. 

I’m starting to isolate and have been avoiding seeing anyone, and have gotten into the habit of just trying to make it through each day, feeling so unaccomplished by the time I go to bed. 

I have tried each day to make sure that I take my puppy for her walks and spend quality time with her, as well as brushing my teeth and doing the other basics that I need to do to take care of myself but I still feel so anxious and disappointed in myself. 

Does anyone have any experience with these feelings? I really need to know that I’m not alone. Any advice for coping with injury recovery or how to stop feeling so anxious/depressed after bringing home a new fur baby? 

Thank you all for listening to my rant 😅
