be careful before you start spending money on advertised supplements. The brain is pretty complex and there is a sticky at the top of TBI page to guide you on what supplements you should be taking.

Drinking alcohol and anything but light physical activity are out until you get stronger. Its the only brain you have and it will get much better if you do the right things and just try to be patient. I know its hard.

It may take longer than 2 moths or you may see improvement sooner. I know you are sick of being patient and you are young, However, There is a great chance that you will be able to code and ride your bike and translate and do all those great things again when you heal enough.

Try not to stress over your family relationships, especially with Dad. You need your energy to heal right now.

And if you get feeling suicidal too often, get help.

Welcome to the board for as long as you need it. Others who are very knowledgeable will be along during the course of the day.
