I am a great believer in neuro-plasticity. With therapy, i feel you could learn to cope better with the tasks/challenges of daily life. That in turn could give you greater confidence and self-esteem. Just being in a more structured environment might help you get more grounded. I do so much better when i have a routine to follow.
I know it's hard - believe me - but i feel that you might be underestimating your potential. Do yourself a favour: Go on you tube and watch "the brain that changes itself." when i'm down, i watch it again - and it gives me courage.
Man, if you knew where i'd started my recovery... Even the doctors told my husband i was a "right off." well, in your face, white coated devils. :d

April 11, 2014 Flipped in class 2 white water while kayaking, hit my forehead (was wearing a helmet). Lots of symptoms to begin with. Those remaining are fatigue, brain freezes/overstimulation, headaches, sensitivity to light and sound. Insomnia is getting better but still an issue, and appetite is ba-ack! Depression and anxiety are largely under control thanks to Lexapro, exercise, and a very distant light at the end of the tunnel.
Drugs: Lexapro, occasional 2-5mgs ambien. Off amatryptaline. Taking about 453 supplements.
Just started vision therapy, waiting on some blue-tinted prism glasses.
