Default Looking for advice:I got a concussion two weeks ago and work is giving me a hard time

Hey Everyone, new member here. I got a concussion on 8/3 and my life hasn't been the same since. I went to my normal doctor on 8/4 and he said that I might have a slight concussion based on my symptoms (light sensitive, sensitive to noise, headache, confusion) so he stated I should take that day and the next day off to get some rest. I went back on 8/6 and one hour into work I started bawling my eyes out uncontrollably. I was so overwhelmed with everything that I just broke down. My brain couldn't process anything and I just lost it. I took my two hour commute back home and went right to the ER.

I got a CAT scan and it came out fine so that was good, and once again they told me i had a mild concussion and to get some rest. At this point I got a note from the doctor stating I should be out the rest of the week and to see a neurologist on Monday.

Monday the 11th comes and I got to my neurologist. He diagnosed me with having PCS and once again I got a doctors note stating that I should rest the 11th-13th, start by working from home very limited on the 14th, and then go back to work on the 18th. This just wasn't good enough for my bosses. They stated I HAD to work on the 11th from home, and I must go in on the 13th to resume working full time. I'm having an extremely hard time focusing and getting my job done, anything that involves using critical thinking I'm pretty much useless in, and my productivity has gone way down. It being a sales environment I have quotas so I have a fear that I'm going to lose my job.

Any advice will help. Thank you!
