Default 5 months post concussion. When will this be getting any better?

Hi everyone

If you already could not tell I'm brand new here. I'm here to learn, to seek help, and just to overall get support from all different people. Which I hope I'm in the right place for. Anyways, this will be long, but I first want to give some background. I'm 14 years old and hit my head playing football in my friends backyard on October 17 2014.

I will never forget that day. I was having a blast with my friends and just In a few seconds it impacted everything in my life horribly. From depression, to confusion, to all these symptoms that won't go away I feel stumped. I had hope for the first couple weeks then lost everything.

I pretty much have little to no hope now. Now, let me tell you how my life's been since the accident. Every single day I'm in this weird dreamy fog, and I'm tying this right now with it. It's almost like how people explain what being high id like. That's how I feel, everyday. And I have to push through it, in school.

My next symptom is my brain gets to a point in the day where it's heavy and tired that it makes it hard to do anything. And finally, depression. I'm depressed a lot now thinking how I haven't hung out with friends or played a sport in so long because of my symptoms. Well, I guess it could be worse.

That's all for now, if anyone can please reply and just talk to me that would be great. Other info: I go to a concussion specialist every 3 weeks and I'm seeing a neurologist in 4 weeks.
