#Alexithymia: A Quick Guide for People with #Concussion and #BrainInjury

Some people feel emotions more intensely.
Some people feel them less than they did before the injury.
Both are normal.

A5: It's a common fear that asking others about #suicide will put the idea in their head - but that is NOT true. Asking directly "Are you thinking about suicide?" shows that you care and are someone they can talk to about how they're feeling. #WWPChat cohenveteransnetwork.org/sui…

A3: One of the biggest red flags to look for is a shift in behavior. This article is a great resource to learn about the potential warning signs and what you can do to help prevent #VeteranSuicide: wwp.news/3R6QRGW #WWPChat

YES. Knowing the warning signs for suicide and how to get help can help save lives. Learn about behaviors that may be a sign that someone is thinking about #suicide from @NIMHgov at go.usa.gov/xVCyZ. #WWPChat
Signs like withdrawal, depressed mood, and speaking about suicide vary from person to person but may not be present. The best thing to do is talk honestly and listen openly. It takes an immense amount of strength to talk about difficult feelings.
