Battery Check

If you've been told it's "just tiredness," this isn't for them. It's for you. Brain injury fatigue is not ordinary tiredness, and a good night's sleep doesn't fix it.

It's the fog that descends from nowhere. It's powering through, then paying for it for days. It's the word that won't come, the room that's suddenly too bright, too loud, too much.

I'm Natalie. I've worked in brain injury since 2002, fatigue is my specialism, and I wrote the Fatigue Management Journal. I know how often people are sent away feeling unheard, sure that no one really understands what this is. I do. And there's far more you can do about it than you've probably been told.

This takes about three minutes, one tap at a time. There are no wrong answers, and if your battery's low, stop and come back.
