Default Will it ever go away?

So in May of 2013 I hit my head and was diagnosed with my first concussion. However, being an athlete since the age of three it was not really my first, it was just the first one that took awhile to go away so I reported it. Recovering from that concussion was long and painful. I still was trying to get cleared for the upcoming field hockey season in that August and ended up with another concussin. This one was different. I black out and I haven't had any relief in the symptoms. That concussion occurred in August 31, 2013.

The school year was awful and it was my junior year, so let's not even talk about how painful the SATs were. Whenever I try to read my vision either blurs or I get double vision and my headache always intensifies. I missed some school, but it was hard ending my sophomore year early from a concussion and then getting a new concussion after only three days into my junior year. I tried to hide the concussion but my friends noticed and reported it to our athletic trainer. I was upset at the time but I'm glad they did now.

I still have a headache almost 24/7 and when I wake up tbs unbareable. Electronics also increase my symptoms (writing this is not fun). I get dizzy a lot and have memory issues. Light and noise are not my friends right now.

My biggest concern is my difficulty with eating and was wonduring if others experience this. I get nauseous a lot. I also never feel hungry. I make my dad's lunch and every time I do I'm almost gagging. I've lost a lot of weight and people have been concerned. I went to the my family doctor recently and broke down and told him about the eating. He said that when people suffer from a chronic condition they are more likely to become depressed and he thinks I'm depressed.

I just want to know if my difficulty with eating since I got this concussion is normal and if it will ever go away?
