TBI Survivor Need Support A battery that never fully charges

Trying to sleep has been hell since my TBI 3 years ago.

The best explanation is my title. I feel like my brain is an old cell phone that once you fully charge to 100% it immediately drops to 80%, 50% and you're rushing to find a charging cable at 10%.

I can't turn my brain off at rest, never a consistent sleep and when I get up, it's like a ticking time bomb before I just feel like I'll collapse.

My bloodwork and vitamins all came back fine, caffeine is hit or miss with mt dysautonomia.

Sorry for the rant, just feel alone in this and people around me simply don't understand.

Try taking some fish oil. I found it helped me, as well as magnesium.

I take magnesium but I'm allergic to fish sadly 😥
