Irritability
Feelings of worthlessness or guilt
Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant risk factor for developing depression. Studies have shown that individuals with TBI have a significantly higher prevalence of depression compared to the general population. Causes: The exact mechanisms underlying the increased risk of depression after TBI are complex and not fully understood. However, several factors may contribute: Brain damage: TBI can damage areas of the brain involved in mood regulation, such as the prefrontal cortex and limbic system. Neurochemical changes: TBI can disrupt the balance of neurotransmitters in the brain, including serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, which are essential for mood control. Cognitive impairment: TBI can lead to cognitive difficulties, such as problems with attention, memory, and executive function, which can increase stress and frustration, contributing to depression. Social and emotional disruption: TBI can significantly impact an individual's life, leading to changes in relationships, work, and activities they once enjoyed. This loss of structure and support can increase the risk of depression. Symptoms: Depression in individuals with TBI may present with similar symptoms as depression in the general population, including: Persistent sadness or low mood Loss of interest or pleasure in activities Changes in appetite and sleep Fatigue Difficulty concentrating Irritability Feelings of worthlessness or guilt Thoughts of self-harm or suicide

Damage to the medulla oblongata can be life-threatening.
The medulla oblongata, or medulla, is the lowest part of the brain stem, connecting the brain and spinal cord at the base of the skull. It's a vital conduit for nerve signals and controls essential functions like breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure. Structure: The medulla has an upper, open section and a lower, closed section. It contains the cardiovascular-respiratory regulation system, motor and sensory tracts, and the origin of cranial nerves IX, X, XI, and XII. Function: The medulla relays critical regulatory information between the brain and the rest of the nervous system. It also controls reflex actions like coughing and swallowing. Size: The medulla is about an inch long and widest at the top, where it connects to the pons, measuring about 0.78 inches across. Evolution: The medulla is a highly conserved structure found in all vertebrates. Damage: Damage to the medulla can be life-threatening.

some photos from my recent walks, pre-phonelessness. something to keep me from wallowing in fear, at least!
midsummer evening sunset fades behind the trees. crescent moon rises above. midsummer sunset over a cornfield with a few clouds. early morning fog obscures buildings in the background. in the foreground, wood piles and benches.

updated garden pics today. been too hot to control the sprawl and weeds, but i'm working on it. in order: blackberry bramble, pollinator/native garden, corn & beans (overdue for peas), potatoes (L) which are hurting from lack of building up the bed more, and tomatoes & borage with ladder trellis (R)
a blackberry bramble overhangs a gravel driveway. wide angle view of borage, ferns, jewelweed, bee balm, coneflower, and catnip that makes up the pollinator and native plant garden. a small raised bed with corn, beans, and marigolds. on the left are two abbreviated potato towers. on the right is a raised bed with tomatoes, borage, marigolds, and carrots.

sorry I'm late, I've been having technical issues. here is the lone celery survivor after spending the night in the fern patch. it has plenty of water and I feel like lessening the light made it worse somehow?
