94MTM,

You said,

<I'm still having headaches all day but I've learned to live with that, nausea comes and goes it's almost more like a gag type nausea, the loss of balance and weak legs are there every now and then, the back and neck pain should start going away with visits to the chiropractor, I'm still forgetful but it seems like it's progressing though, math seems extremely hard for me to do >

You should be limiting math challenges.

<and it's frustrating because I was a kid in high school who skipped advanced math classes and still got A's, my reading is strange like ill misread a lot of things and they don't even make sense,>

You should also be limiting reading. When you find your brain struggling to do a cognitive task, it is telling you to stop and take a break. Don't wait until you mentally crash. At the first sign of struggling to do the task, take a break.

<my vision is still kind of strange but I need to wear glasses but don't have the money for a pair right now and can't do contacts because I have extreme fear of people touching my eyes or getting close, >

It sounds like you need some serious help with your anxieties. Benzos are rough on the brain, even worse on an injured brain. I highly recommend you get serious about vitamin supplementation. Read the Vitamins sticky at the top. It takes 4 to 8 weeks to start to see improvements. It will also help if you learn to moderate your environment to reduce stimulation.

<my mind seems to be random a lot through the day like I'll remember random things out the blue, sometimes I'll lose a thought and then pick up on the thought an hour later while on another thought, and does anyone else hear stuff that stresses them out through the day? Like when my one year old niece cries it instantly stresses me and later on if I'm stressed or having high anxiety I get the cry or whatever it might be in my head. >

Try the L-Tryptophan mentioned by Arty. L-Tryptyophan can make a big difference, especially with anxiety issues. I take 500 mgs 3 times a day. The injured brain get chemically confused and these amino acids and other substances get way out of balance.

<Also it seems like my brain wants to make connections to everything I see and won't let go until I can make a connection. Also I just get random words popping in nonstop too>

These are anxiety issues. Once you get vitamins and supplements going, your brain will be better able to deal with these issues.

Anxiety and stress are the worst things for concussion recovery. You need to maker stress reduction a priority. Avoid being around crying children. Avoid talkative people. Avoid multi-person conversations. Find a music track that is boring yet relaxing. You do not want music to stimulate. It should sooth.

It will help if you can find a simple task or activity to stay busy with. Tasks that are manually oriented are very good. Your brain can not get over-tasked if it is just directing your hands. Learn to play the guitar, tie fishing flies, learn to sew or knit / crochet. Yes, knitting and crocheting is commonly used by high pressure athletes to help them settle their nerves.

Finding that mind settling activity / task will serve you for a lifetime. Your anxiety appears to be deeply ingrained. Learning skills to deal with your anxiety will serve you better than most other skills you will learn. Concussions just make anxiety worse. Concussions never heal completely. It is not uncommon for you to be even more sensitive to stress issues after suffering a concussion.

btw, It will help if you slow down your typing. Stop and reread your posts every few lines. Your thoughts appear to never end and get stuck without pause. This is a skill you will benefit from learning. While you are at it, add a double paragraph space every 5 lines. It makes it much easier for those of us with visual struggles to read the posts. These are all common symptoms of concussion. Learning to recognize these challenges and develop skills to overcome them will be tough but worthwhile.

Sorry for the fire hose of information. Dealing with anxiety was one of my biggest challenges when I was your age and recovering from a concussion. Your struggles are near and dear to me.

My best to you.
