EMOTIONAL CHANGES IN PEOPLE WITH SPINAL CORD INJURY ON THE RETURN HOME
After the physical transition to home, the really hard work begins: the psychological readjustment to living in the real world. You must face the reality of disability on a personal level. You must shift from "me" to "we," which requires recognizing and dealing with other people's feelings and reactions as you move around your community.
While facing these new situations, you may not feel ready to be home. One reality of the present world of managed care is that you may return home at a much earlier stage of your rehabilitation and recovery than did those who preceded you. For instance, Joan stayed in the rehabilitation center for six months, going on excursions into the community and having overnight stays at home to prepare her for her return. Compare that rehabilitation and preparation time to the present norm, which is usually about a month.
How might this earlier release affect you? You may be less physically, emotionally, and socially adjusted to your newly acquired disability than were your predecessors, because you have had less time to "get the hang of" it or "deal with" it. You've had less opportunity to incorporate the disability into your picture of who you are, less time to process and "gel" your new reality. All of this may result in shaky self-confidence, insufficient physical skill training and development, and less readiness to be at home.
Once home you may experience a variety of emotions, all of which are normal reactions to an abnormal situation. Sadness, resentment, anger, frustration, and anxiety, among many other psychological reactions, are common. These may become apparent only after the initial return-home euphoria has dissipated and the hard physical reality of using the sliding board to move from bed to chair becomes a constant reminder of your physical status.
One normal reaction is to compare what was and what is, the old world and the new. Many people feel a need to mourn what they've lost so as to feel ready to move into the future. (This feeling of loss may arise again from time to time as you pass into new stages of life and face different challenges. The feeling will probably be less intense each time you experience it.)
The old question "Why me?" may loom as you compare your use of a wheelchair with your brother's ability to run to catch the train. You may begin to resent not being able to do what others do. If you have these feelings, find someone to share them with so that you can sort through them and hear them spoken aloud. For all of us, being aware of what we are feeling is important, so that we don't "stuff" it or ignore it. Attempts to bury feelings often lead to their erupting in inappropriate, angry outbursts that may have no connection with the specific situation - confusing you and those around you.
Occasional feelings of sadness are different from depression. Some hallmarks of serious, clinical depression are persistent sadness, decreased interest in the world, chronic fatigue, sleep disturbance, lack of or ballooning of appetite, and inability to concentrate. If these signs persist or if you begin to feel that life is not worth living, call a mental health professional to get some help.
Frustration may be a key issue as you try to solve many problems at the same time. Patience, creativity, and the ability for thoughtful problem - solving wane as energy is exhausted and frustration sets in. For example, Patricia, who has paraplegia, has driven to an appointment with her obstetrician, and she finds an illegal occupant in the only wheelchair-designated parking space. One other space is available, but it has too little room to open the driver's door, pull the wheelchair from the back seat, and move across the sliding board into the wheelchair. What can she do? First, she might give herself time to vent her anger. Then she can tackle some problem-solving strategies. If she has a cell phone, she can call the police to report the illegal parking. Or she can ask a passerby to go into the office to ask the driver of the illegally parked car to move it. Or, if she has given herself extra time before the appointment, she can wait for a wider opening for her car. The point is that Patricia has behavioral options from which to choose.
Feeling anxiety during this transitional time is not unexpected. On many occasions you'll confront situations you have never dealt with and for which you have no road map. For instance, a work colleague has asked you and your spouse to dinner at her home. You feel anxious, wondering about the accessibility of the house. Are there steps to the front door or steps inside the house? Are the hallways and doorways wide enough for your wheelchair? Will you be able to get in and out of the bathroom? For all of us, anxiety is often a response to a situation in which we have insufficient information, feel unprepared, or feel we have little control. The best solution is to get information - in this case, about your colleague's home - so that you can figure out a solution. Perhaps the home can be made accessible with a portable ramp, which you happen to own. However, if the architectural hurdles are too formidable, perhaps you can meet in a local restaurant for dinner.
The key to dealing with all such emotional reactions is to name them, to express your feelings, and then to tackle a creative response.
