00:41:51 Tigerlily: Good morning friends! 00:43:31 Tigerlily: I have missed everyone since December. With the weather, winds, fires, and family in the hospital it seems to have been a long time away. 00:45:21 Cindy Hernandez: I've been sick to ughh 00:45:28 Cindy Hernandez: Meee to 00:49:02 Breanne Boyle: @Crystal Le Fay Here is my cell: 949.355.5099 Text me if you feel like hell and want someone who will acknowledge it and care about you. 00:50:43 Crystal Le Fay: Reacted to @Crystal Le Fay Her... with "❤️" 00:52:04 Crystal Le Fay: Replying to "@Crystal Le Fay Her..." Thankyou 00:54:40 Breanne Boyle: Two weeks ago when it rained I had two bad days (worse than I have had in a long time) and I was really sad and then realized it was the weather and I felt better about it after that. 00:55:51 Breanne Boyle: Replying to "@Crystal Le Fay Her..." I know it is soooo easy for me to say and it is not as easy to do: When you feel like people aren’t validating you, pick up your art or a book and take a bath, or listen to your favorite playlist or an audiobook while you snuggle under blankets. Or maybe watch one of your favorite movies or TV shows. When I am feeling depressed and need to dissociate, I watch Ally McBeal. Lol. 00:57:49 WWade Stanley: Replying to "@Crystal Le Fay Her..." I WILL! THANKS!!! 😊 00:58:47 Tigerlily: Replying to "@Crystal Le Fay Her..." LOL...Dancing babies always make me giggle. 00:58:55 Crystal Le Fay: Thankyou @Pilar (she/ her) ! 00:59:03 Pilar (she/ her): Reacted to "Thankyou @Pilar (she..." with 😍 00:59:07 Crystal Le Fay: Reacted to Two weeks ago when i... with "❤️" 00:59:17 Breanne Boyle: The thing I have learned from this terrible injury is that I am happier when I have more work-life balance. I own my own business so it’s easier for me to do this but I don’t work as much because I learned in recovery that I am happier that way. I am glad I learned it. 00:59:44 Crystal Le Fay: Reacted to The thing I have lea... with "❤️" 01:00:06 Crystal Le Fay: Replying to "The thing I have lea..." I'm working on learning a balance. 01:00:29 Breanne Boyle: Replying to "The thing I have lea..." Oh, it’s hard. And I am privileged to be able to control my work schedule. 01:01:12 Crystal Le Fay: Replying to "The thing I have lea..." I used to run my own business I miss it so much! 01:01:40 Pilar (she/ her): Replying to "The thing I have lea..." @Crystal Le Fay I get it I couldn’t work for 2-3 years bc of my tbi 01:02:45 Pilar (she/ her): Replying to "The thing I have lea..." Now I am much more strategic about using tools to manage my work and not “waste brain energy” on tasks that are possible to outsource or streamilne 01:03:34 Pilar (she/ her): Replying to "The thing I have lea..." Sorry I forgot to mention I have my own biz as well, so yes I get that frustration of not being able to work on your passion. 01:04:14 Breanne Boyle: Replying to "The thing I have lea..." @Crystal Le Fay @Pilar (she/ her) I couldn’t work much for about 2+ years after my TBI. I am only just now able to work almost the whole day, 3.5 years later. 01:04:22 Breanne Boyle: Reacted to "Now I am much more s..." with ❤️ 01:04:38 Pilar (she/ her): Replying to "The thing I have lea..." I think also this injury FORCES you to not overwork bc the symptoms are too severe you cant just work through it 01:04:42 Crystal Le Fay: Replying to "The thing I have lea..." I became a 500hr yoga teacher and I love it..I'm hoping to teach this year through zooms and my YouTube channel 01:04:58 Breanne Boyle: Replying to "The thing I have lea..." I also do work for a bit and then step away for 45 or so minutes to work on my quilts. 01:04:59 Pilar (she/ her): Replying to "The thing I have lea..." @Breanne Boyle same basically. I still work a little less than before but thats ok. 01:05:07 Breanne Boyle: Reacted to "I became a 500hr yog..." with 🙌 01:05:11 Pilar (she/ her): Replying to "The thing I have lea..." @Breanne Boyle ooohhhhhh 01:05:18 Breanne Boyle: Reacted to "I think also this in..." with 💯 01:05:49 Crystal Le Fay: Replying to "The thing I have lea..." Here's my website www.crystallefay.com I keep it active but don't take on clients 01:05:53 WWade Stanley: Reacted to The thing I have lea... with "❤️" 01:06:22 Breanne Boyle: Replying to "The thing I have lea..." @Pilar (she/ her) It’s hard when you can’t work through it and people just don’t understand that. And then everyone around you has moved on from your injury and you are left in this dark hole still dealing with it and feeling like a burden if you bring it up all the time. (Maybe that’s just me.) 01:07:01 Pilar (she/ her): Replying to "The thing I have lea..." Thats normal and understandable. Really no one will understand unless they re disabled or had an ability ripped away from their life suddenly 01:07:07 Breanne Boyle: Replying to "The thing I have lea..." @Crystal Le Fay Are you on Facebook? I would love to share your link and tag you once you feel ready to do more classes. 01:07:17 Breanne Boyle: Reacted to "@Breanne Boyle same ..." with ❤️ 01:07:35 Breanne Boyle: Reacted to "Thats normal and und..." with ❤️ 01:08:14 Crystal Le Fay: Replying to "The thing I have lea..." I feel that too. I can't push myself anymore and it just seems like im always sick but I've just over done it and need extra down time 01:08:44 Breanne Boyle: Replying to "The thing I have lea..." Yeah I now refer to it as a chronic brain injury to people get the idea that it is ongoing. It’s an invisible disability. On top of it I have diagnosed anxiety disorder (which got worse after the TBI) and ADHD. Some days I just canNOT accomplish anything with all these beasts. 01:08:51 Breanne Boyle: Reacted to "I feel that too. I c..." with ❤️ 01:09:49 Pilar (she/ her): Replying to "The thing I have lea..." I think actually TBI was recently reclassified as a chronic condition I saw on some TBI newsletter, I think BIA 01:09:59 Crystal Le Fay: Replying to "The thing I have lea..." I have adhd and health anxiety 01:10:02 Breanne Boyle: Replying to "The thing I have lea..." @Crystal Le Fay Take the down time. Just take it. No one is counting your hours of down time and you probably feel guilty about it but no one else is as bothered I bet. 01:10:04 Pilar (she/ her): Replying to "The thing I have lea..." So that helps with govt funding etc 01:10:07 Breanne Boyle: Reacted to "I have adhd and heal..." with ❤️ 01:10:13 Crystal Le Fay: Replying to "The thing I have lea..." Yes I'm on facebook https://www.facebook.com/share/15vqtXwRqM/ 01:10:29 Breanne Boyle: Replying to "The thing I have lea..." Yes! I was classified as a chronic disability/injury last year. 01:14:25 Pilar (she/ her): Replying to "The thing I have lea..." That was validating. 01:14:31 Breanne Boyle: Reacted to "That was validating." with ❤️ 01:14:50 Crystal Le Fay: Thankyou @Tigerlily I do tend to cancel myself out..lol 01:15:54 Cindy Hernandez: Thanknyou so m7ch for talking about this I go threw he'll when I get sick and the lengths I go threw not to get sick 01:16:30 Tigerlily: Reacted to Thankyou @Tigerlily ... with "❤️" 01:18:33 Celeste Palmer: Tbibridge.org 01:22:12 Rob P: Reacted to "Tbibridge.org" with ❤️ 01:25:20 Breanne Boyle: I have to bounce off at 10am for another meeting but I love you ALL.
