Out and about is what I crave, home is where I feel most alone.

Updated: Nov 10, 2023

For most people, home is a sanctuary where they can relax and unwind. However, for me, it was a place where I rarely wanted to be. I always stayed busy and tried to avoid spending too much time at home. It was like a prison, and I often felt claustrophobic.


The reason for this was that I didn't want to think about the ruptured brain aneurysm I had experienced. It was an experience that had changed my life completely and left me feeling lost. Before that day, my life was perfect. I had a good job, a loving family, and everything seemed to be going well.



However, the day of my brain aneurysm changed everything. I was getting ready for the beach with my boyfriend when I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my head. The next thing I knew, I was waking up in the hospital, surrounded by worried family members. The doctors had told me that I had suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm, and that I was lucky to be alive. They had managed to save my life, but nothing would ever be the same again.


In the period that followed, I struggled to come to terms with what had happened to me. I felt lost and unsure of what to do next. I tried to go back to my old life, but it felt like I was living in a different world. I was afraid to go out and do things, and I felt like I was always looking over my shoulder, waiting for something bad to happen. I was told ruptured brain aneurysms are rare and I would most likely never meet anyone else that went through this.



Despite this, I knew that I had to keep moving forward. I sought help from professionals, who helped me to deal with my anxiety and depression. I tried to stay busy, taking up new hobbies and trying new things. Slowly but surely, I began to feel like living again. I realized that although my life had changed, it was still possible to live a happy and fulfilled life.


In conclusion, my experience with a ruptured brain aneurysm was a life-changing event that left me feeling lost and unsure of what to do next. However, I learned that it's possible to move forward from a traumatic event, and that it's important to seek help when you need it. Although home was a difficult place for me to be, I found solace in trying new things and slowly building my life back up again.



Brain Aneurysms Hurt is a blog founded by a survivor of a ruptured brain aneurysm in March 16, 2018. After realizing that there was a lack of resources and support for those suffering from this condition, I made it my mission to raise awareness and provide emotional support for others in similar situations. I understand the importance of finding a community of people who can relate to your struggles, and that's why I've found various platforms for communication and connection. My goal is to ensure that no one goes through the challenges of dealing with a brain aneurysm alone. I want to promote education about early detection as well as supporting fundraising efforts for research towards better treatment options. My mission is to give hope to those affected by brain aneurysms by building a community of support, spreading awareness, and ultimately saving lives.
