So many people have asked me how I came up with My Cracked Nut. Many years ago(22+) when I suffered a closed head injury, lost my career as now you are deemed useless by the field you have been in for a long time, I sank into a deep depression. A wonderful Neuropsychologist--didnt know they had those back then, spent countless hours with me trying to help me find a way to deal with my now new life. The Neuropsychiatrist (didnt know they had those either) told me one day after he had diagnosed me 4 years post with TBI and a long list of other things, that the person you knew is gone, you will have to find a new you. I remember sitting there with tears pouring down my face and asked him How do I do that?. He told me, there is no manual, no book on how to do it, I would have to find my own way. This is when I was referred to the Neuropsychologist to help me deal with the side issues--depression, loss of self-identity, esteem, and to figure out which end of my ass was up. I sat at home one day, back when things were dial up, 33bps on internet and Yahoo chat was just formed. Yep, I was there when it all began. I was talking to an old ndn woman who said something to me and it took me many years to internalize what she said. My mind couldnt wrap around the words she told me but now I can embrace them. She told me RT, You have to crack the nut to get to the sweetmeat.. My life had changed directions from the one I knew. The sweetmeat was now that I can help others who have gone through what I have, that my perspectives on many things have changed as I cracked open that nut to get to what was inside.. So, hence--My Cracked Nut...
