Biscuit story and his 6 head injuries

I’ve had three brain strokes I’ve also fell 19 feet on my head on a fishing boat in Alaska , when I was 12 years old I was going down a waterslide knocked myself out ground put myself in a coma for a week that was my first closed head injury my second closed head injury I got in a fight at Battle of the Bands where they hit me in the head cut my eye out stab me in the temple collapse my lung that was my second closed head injury my third closed head injury is when I was working for Trident Seafoods for the union and I fell from the evacuation platform right on my head 19 feet that was my third closed head injury. And then as I was working in life I got three brain strokes which took me out of the workforce and I had to work real hard to come back with my speech being able to swallow talk I give all the glory to God for the help that I have today but I still am suffering everyday with my head injury because it’s still has an effect I’m not getting along with people I get angry fast I cry for no reason I get emotional for no reason I’ve been to the psychiatrist all I want to do is give medication which makes everything worse and gives me nightmares I’ve been to my psychotherapist for Saint Elizabeth and she doesn’t know how to handle me she told me she doesn’t know how to deal with somebody with a brain injury so I don’t know where to turn except to my God Jesus Christ I’m just trying to make it here in life and be happy and not let anybody kill my joy that’s my story
