[Hope Brookes]

Hi All!
My name is Hope Brookes I am 21 and I live in Manchester in England and I am here because my bestfrend who I have been friends with since I was a child has been a T8 for about a year and a half now, she was in hospital for almost a year and had 3 months of bed rest and now shes starting to go out a bit.

That's the good news. but the bad news is she doesn't talk to me. And when I say that I mean hardly at all. she will say little things here or there that scare me like " you hate the site of me" & " and don't look at me I'm disgusting" why would she say that? I have never made her think that i think those things because I don't shes my bestfriend and she will always be the girl i met when we were children and shes beautiful. Please someone tell me what shes thinking like maybe if your paralyzed and young youwould maybe know what shes going through? because to her it seemes no one does? I thought of contacting support groups in the UK that we could go to but I don't know any maybe any of you know support groups in the UK or maybe places she could go to socialize with people who know how shes feeling because right now I feel so helpless. It seemes like all the friends we thought we had have just disappeared as soon as she became paralyzed its just me left now and I don't know what to do, I have told her I Will never leave her but she doesn't believe me. I feel an overwhelming sense of guilt towards what happened because she fell of her roof at her house when I told her not to get on the roof because I felt like something bad will happen but she did it anyway after i left to go home, maybe that's why she wont talk to me, because she hates me for not doing something else to make her not go on the roof or maybe she wishes it was me who went on the roof? I have no idea i need help because this whole situations breaking my heart.

I know that all seemed like a long ramble bable so I will specify in points.

1. Is anyone young paralyzed and living in the UK who would know of support groups for the person injured and friends and family..

2: someone who is injured and young who could possibly let me know how shes thinking?

[or just anyone who could help?]

Thank you so much because I don't know what else to so

Hi Hope, welcome to the forum!

It sounds like your friend is having a tough time coming to terms with herself. My best advice is to stick by her and be a good strong supportive friend. Remember, people are not their behaviours. I dont know of any groups in the UK but talk to people at her rehab centre and also get in touch with SCI charities etc. they can help. Dont give up on her!

[youwhat]

Hai Hope, Sadly I am not really aware of any specific organisations here in the uk that could help in your case. I know there are one or two but I have had no dealings with them so can't recommend!

Anyway, I'm 22 myself, became paralysed about 18 months ago after trying to commit suicide Despite that I still had one or two best friends who stuck by me and to be honest they were the only ones (friends wise). So I can relate to your friends situation, where it seems every friend has gone poof and vanished into thin air. There could be many reasons for this but for me it just means they were not true friends like yourself

She was in hospital for a very long time, that must have been quite hard and then coming out of hospital is not easy! I hated it after the initial 3 weeks of joy for being back home, reality kicked in and it was not nice. We as human beings tend sometimes to take out our frustrations on others, especially those we care about and love. You can probably understand that she is frustrated and upset about her situation now and for a young person the thought goes from your mind "hey im going to be like this for the rest of my life". Wether you will be or not is irrelevant. the way I have coped with everything that has happened is to just think positive.

Ok fair enough a few people left that I thought were friends but so what? I have made new friends (even found myself a nice young lady eventually ;) ) and begun to socialise more than I ever did before my accident. I am in better shape now as I have taken up the gym as a hobby, now I'm training to be a gym instructor aswell. But it took time, there are people that jump straight out of the hospital at 100 mph and start doing everything, while there are some that need a bit more time to adapt to their new surroundings and take time. At the end of the day I am sure your friend will come around but you have to give her a little time.

She may be upset with you a little about what happened to her, she may not. Who knows? I would not worry about that, it's happened and there isn't a whole lot you can do about it. What I would try and do is keep her out and socialising, the worst thing you can do is stay holed up inside doing nothing, it will make things worse! I hope in time she comes around and realises she has a true friend by her side, someone that cares and would do anything for her. But it takes time! Best of luck to you both!

Hi Hope

Firstly welcome to the site, I hope you find lots of useful information here. It’s great that you want to be there for your friend, without my friends I do not think I would be where I am now.

Dealing with your injury in hospital is one thing, when you are in a safe environment everything seems more manageable. I don’t think any amount of preparation prepares you fully for the feeling of going home, although the up of being out of hospital there is the dark feeling of, ‘well this is it’ and the realisation that things are never going to be the same again.

With sci comes huge issues about body image, it takes time to come to terms with this new body and it’s different ways of working. I’m still not particularly comfortable with my body image post sci, then again I wasn’t very happy with it pre sci either so I think that has something to do with it.

Dealing with sci is the same as dealing with any loss, the stages of grief are the same. Her attitude definitely seems to be one of denial of her situation unfortunately, it doesn’t matter how much you ignore it, this one just ain’t going away! I don’t think anyone who has not been there can fully understand the feeling of hopelessness and despair which I think everyone who has a sci has felt at sometime.

I spent just over 5 months in hospital/rehab in total and those first few months after coming home are def the worst. I am pretty sure I was not a very nice person to be around and still have my moments now. I was never interested in being around other disabled people however when I felt ready I started looking for more information and ended up here and despite what I first thought about talking to people who had been through a similar thing, it has been very beneficial to me however I needed to do it under my terms and when I was ready. The best thing for me, IMO was going back to work. Although it is bloody hard work at times it has increased my confidence and self esteem and sense of worth.

One important thing to remember Hope is that an accident is just that, an accident. Feeling guilty is counterproductive and your friend may well use your feelings of guilt to manipulate you or to make her life easier. Be there for her when she needs you, give her space and time. Remember that people often take out their anger and frustration on those closest to them.

Hi Hope,
You have a really beautiful name. Firstly, it is in no way "your fault". that she is injured. Unfortunately we all make choices. You chose to warn her and obviously would have stuck around if you had thought she would go up there. Unfortunately she is possibly having trouble trying to accept that. I was injured at 18 and body image is a big thing at that age. I felt ugly, I felt horrible and I felt about as unattractive as I could be. All the things you strive to be and are judged on (which matters at that age) are suddenly thrown out the window and your life is turned upside down.

From being active and independent, happy and healthyand feeling like you are starting to become a "grown up" to being stuck in a bed in a ward with geriatrics crapping themselves where you can't even take a dump without asking somebody. Then all the things you took for granted like turning over or getting out of bed have to be learned from scratch "because you can't do them like before". You get frustrated and angry and you can't do anything like running or other things to get that anger out.
You get annoyed you can't do the simplest of things so take out your anger on those who are taking responsibility for doing those things for you. It doesn't mean you hate that person, just hate the fact they have to do those things for you. Private things you used to do so easily on your own. I had bed washes for probably four months and couldn't bring myself to wash myself. I couldn't bear to touch my new body or the injuries.

The first time I had a shower there was a full length mirror on the door. I am not sure whose brilliant idea that was but I cried my eyes out for hours because I just wasn't prepared for what I saw and how I had changed. What helped me get where people just gently coaxed me and pushed me to do more until I was out of my depressed angry state where I started to get some self esteem. That is when I started to push myself. Occasionally I have needed a kick in the butt. I don't think it is time to have her butt kicked yet, just gentle persuasion and encouragement. Bring friends over, go out at least once a week. Do things she can do. It is going to be Spring there soon so plenty of opportunity to start getting out, even if it is just for a walk in the park or a game of cards outside. Is she seeing any sort of counsellor? Perhaps you could call samaritans or lifeline as they can also help you. They can also help put you in touch with groups or people who may help.

Anyway, I am not sure if all this helps but hopefully it gives a little insight into how she may be feeling. Feel free to PM me if you like.

You absolutely must without doubt get her on a backup course http://www.backuptrust.org.uk/ - I'd have thought just the sort of support group she needs

I don't know about that but thanks Hope. I think everyone gets by with the hand they are given whether they are AB or otherwise, they just have to. Things change and it is just about getting used to the new things life throws at you. It isn't about being strong, it's about doing the right thing and having the access to the right information. I used to do telephone counselling after my injury, I could help people solve their issues but I could often not make a move toward solving my own either. I am pretty satisfied with my life. I work for a living and am respected in my field and at my place of work. I can travel again now and I have lots of good friends (like you are to your friend). While I haven't done a lot of the things some have tried on this site, some of things just don't interest me and never did.

By the way, I think you are the one who is awesome. You chose to stick around with your friend while all the others you mentioned didn't. Your friend has to, she has no choice. You on the other hand do have a choice.

Well it is manchester Getting out does do you the world of good though, the longer you stay holed up the harder it is to get out again.

[Ches]

Yeah I dont think shes ready for a full day out, maybe just a few hours around the garden on a sunny day. I'm trying to remember what helped me to want to get out of the house.. Oh yeah, I know.. before I had the confidence to actually go out I LOVED LOVED LOVED hopping in the car and just driving nowhere with my best friend. We often ended up at a drive thru getting ice cream.. it wasnt much, but it was fun.. and no one knows youre paralyzed when youre in a car. Maybe that will help?
