I’m Angry, But Why?

I’m Angry… But I Don’t Even Know What I’m Angry At

Some days after my TBI, I wake up with this heavy, restless anger simmering inside me.

There’s no clear target. No single person or event I can point to and say, “This. This is why I’m mad.” It’s just… there. A vague, foggy frustration that makes me irritable, short-tempered, and sometimes even angry at myself for feeling angry.

This is one of the strangest and most exhausting parts of brain injury recovery.
