If you are up to it (see above reference to pushing to hard), perhaps you're ready for more cognitive therapy. I can't remember, have you had a neuropsych to help pinpoint your deficits?
There are a number of options. In my case, I found that Attention Processing Training (APT) helped.

I went to that fateful yoga class 2 weeks ago today... That was a HUGE setback... I should not have been driving after that class... I lost time... and since have just been noticing decrease in short term memory, unable to remember simple facts in my book, like characters... paying some bills twice and others not at all...
what is APT?
I have not had a neuropsych yet

The Start: MVA, t-boned, on 1-12-14 (my sons 5th birthday) and did not think anything of it.. my back hurt on site but everything else seemed ok. Lost about 10-12 hours from about 3 hours after the accident to the next day...Experienced terrible brain fog for over a month, plus intense headaches, nausea, dizziness, cognitive difficulties, disorientation, no short term memory, depression and just an overall hangover feeling daily.
Current Situation: I'm about 7 months in and my local neurologist has waived her white flag and therefore I am headed to Dallas to be seen (I have family there). The headaches are still daily. I have nausea, dizziness as well.
Drugs I have been on- Vicodin (off), Naproxen (off), proanolol (off), topamax (off), cataflam (off), Midrin (off), Flexeril (off) and now Namenda XR (off), Nortrptylin (off), Verapamil (off)
