June 26th was when I received my initial concussion. It bothered me for about two weeks but eventually it was starting to clear up. However, after that I made a very poor decision. July 15th I decided to go to an amusement park with my family. Overall, most of the day was fine. However, there was one ride which I smacked the back of my head on, and put me where I am today.

1. Yesterday, when putting on a hoodie, it sort of rebounded and hit me in the back of the head. Yesterday, I experienced increased symptoms and today I feel more forgetful, even momentarily forgetting my best friend's name at one point. Am I back to square one?


2 Now, I'm 13. I had a lot of good things going for me before I received my first concussion. Straight A's, athletic, etc. This whole thing has kind of halted that. I'm more apathetic than ever, I'm forgetful, etc. Is this going to last forever? Will I ever return to normal?

3. I'm a hypochondriac. Is this prolonging my recovery time?

4. After gym class today, where we had to do shuttle runs, I felt terribly dizzy. Is there anyway I can explain to them what I'm going through?

That's about it guys.
