aka 'cognitive dissonance'

[anamacha]

I know I've gone on about my brain injury -- or at least it feels to me as if I have gone on a fair amount on it. If you're tired of it, you might want to leave now, as I anticipate going on about it even more

Hey it's a part of you! talk on!! you shouldn't be ashamed. and understanding it will only help you to GET around it. if you expect to do what is easy for others who don't have these same struggles the same way...then you probably feel terrible - must be stupid, put yourself down and so forth leading to low self-esteem. Knowledge is power.

yeah, I don't need that low self esteem stuff. I've had enough of that in my life, believe me. Thanks for the encouragement, though.

I DO feel terrible, some of the time. Other times I'm very confident -- almost like I'm making up for the bad times.
