Losing your memory? Can't focus or concentrate? Do you have brain fog or tire easily? Have you lost your zest for life or motivation? Do people tell you this is all a normal part of aging? If so, your brain may be growing old too fast, or degenerating. Modern diets, a stressful lifestyle, and environmental toxins all take their toll on the brain. This doesn't just happen to seniors - brain disorders and degeneration are on the rise for young and old alike. The good news is the brain is extremely adaptable and wants to get well.

In January 1996, a van speeding through a red light ended the life Kara Swanson had known. She suddenly joined the two million Americans who suffer brain injury each year. It was like being thrust into a foreign country with no map, no way to speak the language, no directions home. Written with laugh-out-loud humor, candor, and technical input from medical and legal professionals, I'll Carry the Fork! offers inspiration and practical help to anyone dealing with the aftermath of brain injury. Because, as Kara says, "Sometimes when your life ends, you don't actually die."

If you were raised to believe that painful emotions are a sign of weakness, or if being vulnerable has always made you feel unsafe, then you may have survived by creating a perfect-looking life - a life where you appear to be successful, engaged, and always there for others. The problem? You're filled with self-criticism and shame, and you can't allow yourself to express fear, anger, loss, or grief. You recognize something is wrong, but you're not sure what exactly - only that you feel trapped and alone. If this sounds like you, you may have perfectly hidden depression (PHD).

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 51
If you were raised to believe that painful emotions are a sign of weakness, or if being vulnerable has always made you feel unsafe, then you may have survived by creating a perfect-looking life - a life where you appear to be successful, engaged, and always there for others. The problem? You're filled with self-criticism and shame, and you can't allow yourself to express fear, anger, loss, or grief. You recognize something is wrong, but you're not sure what exactly - only that you feel trapped and alone. If this sounds like you, you may have perfectly hidden depression (PHD).

Paradoxically, it's only when we stop struggling against our fearfulness that we begin to find lasting freedom from it.

Thank you for writing it
This book went straight to my heart. After a very bad car crash I sustained a MTBI and my life has been upside down ever since. It has been 16 months since then and boy I have struggled with the process, specially the acceptance part.
I’m also a Type A person, Sr VP of a $7Billion company and my brain is what got me here. I’ve been trying different treatments to get me back to where I was and although there has been some progress I’m still far away of where I was. All the medical professionals told me I should accept the fact and let go, but to me that’s is like quitting and I’m not a quitter. With the first few chapters I cried buckets of tears because finally somebody understood what I’m going through, the following chapters gave me tools to deal and to learn to accept my new circumstances. I thank you for writing this book from the bottom of my heart, it’s been inspiring and brings a light of hope.

This book is so much like my own story and as a musician with a brain injury I felt her struggles were extremely relatable. The workbook is very helpful in pinpointing topics to discuss with my therapist.
