You probably don't want to hear this. I didn't want to hear it or believe it either when I got my concussion and PCS either, but I had to leave work and put full time into healing in order to give myself the best chance of recovering.
You are in the uncharted waters of brain healing and no one can tell you how long it will take, but it does take time, and there is nothing you can do to hurry it along. Being in school and thinking and trying to read won't let your brain heal.
Can you talk to your counseling department at your school to find out some options? Can your doctor or neurologist write something to let the school know about the limitations you have now and that you need brain healing?
I am just trying to give some ideas here.
I hope you find a way to get some peace and quiet in your life.
Sincerely,
pm

The thing is, physically I am okay. I no longer have the headaches, the vertigo, feeling "slow", or any other concussion symptoms. My specialist cleared me last week.I am released to do all normal activities including exercising, reading, school work, and teaching. Emotionally, I am just really distraught, but physically I am doing well.
