Traumatic Brain Injury

[64blonde]

I have been wondering if I might have caused myself some sort of brain injury. I have had a problem with self abuse since I was in 6th grade and moved from Michigan to CA. The kids weren't very friendly and I wondered why they didn't like me. As a result, I started to get frustrated, then angry and then I would beat the sides of my head with my fists or run into a wall to cause myself physical harm as that felt better than the emotional pain. I suffer from depression but not to the point that I can't work. I can sometimes get very emotional, can't find the right words to speak when talking to someone, still don't have many friends and I've pulled back from social events. I have a wonderful family and husband though. Could I have injured my brain in some way through all these years of abusing myself? I was reading an article in the Parade magazine TBI and it made me wonder. Any advice on how I could find out if I have caused any damage?
