Find a therapist that does mindfulness/presence coaching. It took a long time, because my focus was so out of whack and I would forget everything I hadn't written down the minute I left the office&nbsp;, but practicing acceptance and training my focus on the present has been vital for me.

For my husband, I believe it was his Anger Management Therapist.

My beautiful broken brain is on Netflix.

Dont know if it's on Netflix but "the vow" has to be 1 of the best head injury movies ever.

Any recommended brain injury movies on Netflix? 

Caffeine is tricky. Sometimes it helps me stay awake, sometimes it makes me dehydrated and exhausted. Staying hydrated is the difference for me between being ok, and being exhausted.Google says I'm supposed to consume 1/2 to an ounce of water per pound of body weight, per day. The more behind I get, the more exhausted I get, the more difficult it is to catch up.

I drink two cups to four when I get up. In the afternoon I drink two cups, otherwise I will be asleep. I am 61 now but when I was in my thirties I drank much more coffee. Another possibility is get a prescription for adderall.

Foods with B Vitamins! Caffeine makes it harder to get thru the exhaustion. I eat a lot of seeds, green leafy veggies, fish, eggs, beef, nuts, avocados, legumes, etc. I prefer to get mine thru organic food. B-6 &amp; B-12 help the brain. No matter how you get them, is a good thing!!!!

On my work days, I drink an energy drink and a cup of coffee and I’m still struggling to stay awake. Any suggestions that may help me get through my 8 hour work day?
