Answer 2

Firstly, do other people agree that you suffer from "mood swings," as this would support what you are saying.  I want hard evidence!  when people use common terms like  ("mood swings")  they are using pre-existing words to fit in with how they see themself.  this is the problem with definitions of personality.  They then start to become more and more like those definitons.  Lets suppose I heard the term "mood swings," and then I noticed that my mood was flutuating, simply because I'm a human being, and I paid undue attention to it, then started to associate it with my brain hemorrhage, I' m then caught in a viscious circle, (Is it the hemorrhage or not?), that I can't seem to get out of.  If you have enough evidence to substantiate what you suspect, then wouldn't it be wise to get yourself assessed, and make sure that your anatomy is functioning properly, mood swings do not have to be caused by the brain, but can be caused by factors like circumstances, and hormone imbalances.  However, I have to be honest and say that if someone dramatically changes immediately after a head injury, then there is ample evidence that the injury is the cause of the problem.  In conclusion, do not spend the rest of your life chasing rainbows, but live life to enjoy yourself, with others.  If it was me in this situation, I would do what countless others do and give my life to Jesus, who can get you out of the trap.  Good luck and best wishes for the future!

Answer 3

Your frontal lobes are called your pre-frontal cortex. This area controls your emotions and personality. Your brain hemorrhage could have damaged part of it, and because of that you wouldn't have the same personality as you did before. It's also near your Amygdala, which controls rage. I'm sorry that this happened to you, but at least it's not a full time thing. Some people who have damage to that part of their brains experience rage all the time, or might even become dull and behave somewhat zombie like. My best bet is that your amygdala was damaged.
