Give yourself a break and try to learn to tolerate and move past this minor issues.
Agree with everything Mark says here. I had symptoms that completely debilitated me for much of last spring and summer, partly because I let them. This did not negate the fact that I have a very cognitively demanding job and my brain just wasn't working right as I tried to slog through. Paying attention to every little symptom makes things seem much, much worse, though. Like so many people on this board, I am also prone to anxiety and depression. It is a toxic soup from which one feels one may never recover.

There is also this; from everything I've read prolonged concussion symptoms have never killed anyone. They can be uncomfortable and even super weird but after that initial few week period when there might be a brain bleed causing severe symptoms, from everything I've read you just have to go with the flow, as Mark said. It sure did help me get back to close to "normal." Just try to relax and not stress about you condition.

Thanks for the replies guys. I saw a red dot I though the other day in the mirror. At first I thought it was a zit but it may have been a red floater. I made an eye doctor appointment. Hopefully my eyes aren't going to fall out. Just curious my friend offered me psychedelics the other day but I turned them down because I didn't want it to hurt my recovery. Would mushrooms be bad for my recovery or harmless?

I would never touch anything that was neuro or psychoactive. If you saw the red spot through your closed eye lids, I would not be concerned at all. If you see a red spot with your eyes open while looking at a white wall or sheet of paper, I'd see the doctor. But, ask the doctor to explain all of the different things you may see so you can alleviate any anxiety. My eye doctor did and I was able to stop worrying about all those spots.

Thanks for the honesty about the psychedelics. I won't touch them then. As far as the red dot, I saw it while looking at the mirror. The wall around it was white but I saw the red dot while looking at myself in the mirror with my eyes open
