Welcome to my blog. It varies how regular I write posts here. I sustained a 'Traumatic Acquired Brain Injury', and a six month coma from a 'road traffic accident' whilst cycling, in October 2006. I spent the following 4 years (22-26yrs old), in a combination of hospitals and rehabilitation homes. Now, I have been living independently in Surbiton, England since October 2010. This blog begun life in December 2010, as i realised that there are many people worldwide that i want to share experiences with. I know that, as a wheelchair user, I am obviously not as mobile as i wish, so, use the internet to connect to you. I enjoy letting my thoughts represent through type. I type honestly. As numerous readers, as well as email recipients, will understand, I find typing to be very therapeutic. Thank you :)

Depression....

Hehehe, now i've probably scared people, by using a happy title to this post. Fear not, neither this post, nor the blog are fuelled by  the thoughts of a deeply depressed young man, rather, caffeine.
Hmmm, right, now, I have no idea what i am going to write about this week, as i have no updated notes. Apologies, therefore if it is similar those previous.
Anyway, as i have not been paying attention, a large chunk of Toblerone (mmmmmmm) has melted all over my computer, and now my coffee is getting cold. Doh!
Anyway, right, I'm gonna' be short/quick because have a meeting tomorrow morning, planned(need to prepare). Basically, after receiving some compliments after the last but one post, I now realise that people would much rather read good stuff, than some sad, depressing, tear-jerking rubbish. Understandably.  You can assure yourself however, that, whatever is written here, is all 100% me. My thoughts (unless I include a quotation, a belief that I follow). Hopefully, those who have read, begin to understand the weird way in which my mind works.
The main issue that I want people to realise, is that it is hard to become depressed. Sad, yes, upset, yes, but properly depressed, no. When we stop and actually just realise how incredibly lucky we all are to be here, any problems or issues that we face should prove insignificant. This is what I hold onto strong, and have done since my accident. But, it does not just apply to me, it applies to everyone who lives or has lived. I do feel sad that it needed me to suffer my accident, until I actually felt this way.
Yes, I have been listening to a lot of more upbeat Coldplay, recently, but that has nothing to do with this positive attitude. Just look at the stars, and look how they shine for you, and everything you do...
