This is perfectly normal, and there are things you can do to begin rebuilding your confidence. It's not easy but worth a try.
My Advice:
A Letter To Other Brain Aneurysm Survivors
Dear you,
I want to talk to you about something that's been on my mind a lot lately. It's about confidence, and more specifically, how to build confidence in your looks after a brain aneurysm.
I know that after your aneurysm burst, you were terrified of what people would think of you. You were worried that they would see you as damaged goods, that they would look at you with pity or disgust. And for a long time, that fear paralyzed you. You didn't want to leave the house, didn't want to take pictures with friends, and missed out on a lot of fun experiences because you were too self-conscious to participate.
But I'm here to tell you that it doesn't have to be that way. You can be confident again. You can love yourself and your body just as much as you did before the aneurysm.
Here's how:
1. Accept what has happened The first and most important step is to accept what has happened. It's okay to grieve for the person you were before the aneurysm, but don't dwell on it. There's no use living in the past; you can only move forward from here. So give yourself some time to mourn, and then make the decision to start fresh.
2. Be patient The road to recovery is going to be long and difficult, and there will be days when you feel like you're never going to get better. But I promise you, things will improve with time. Your physical scars will fade and your mental ones will heal. Just be patient and keep moving forward.
3. Find a role model One of the best ways to get inspired is to find someone who has been in your shoes and come out the other side stronger and more confident than ever before. There are plenty of stories out there of people who have gone through similar experiences and come out stronger for it—find one that resonates with you and hold onto it for dear life when self-doubt starts creeping in.
4 Focus on your positive qualities  Everyone has things about them that they don't like—that's just part of being human. But instead of focusing on your physical flaws, try to focus on the qualities that make you unique and beautiful in your own right—even if they're not traditionally considered "attractive." Maybe it's your kindness, your sense of humor, or your ability to light up a room when you walk into it—whatever it is, let those qualities shine through and don't be afraid to show them off to the world.
Life after a brain aneurysm can be tough—there's no denying that fact. But it's important to remember that you're not alone in this journey; there are others who have gone through Similar experiences and come through victorious on the other side . Use their stories as inspiration when things get tough ,and never forget that YOU ARE WORTHY OF LOVE AND HAPPINESS JUST AS YOU ARE!
