SamG11,

It gets better, but only with time and rest. After my concussion it took 10 months before I felt like myself again. Rest is the name of the game.

Try to wear sunglasses as much as possible, even indoors, to deal with the light sensitivity. If you have sensitivity to loud noises try earplugs at night or when you need to concentrate.

What helped me is listening to podcasts. There are a million podcasts out there for every subject and pretty much every possible thing. Get an ipod and listen to those. I suggest comedy podcasts. It might lighten your mood.

Another thing I suggest is to go see a counselor that specializes in people that have had injuries such as yours. When you talk it out, it makes things feel much better. You may have to go see a few different ones until you find the right guy that can help.

Remember. It will get better. It just takes time. When you're 15 everything feels like it takes so much longer. Good Luck
