Smile post concussion - outlook on life

Hi

I had a significant concussion in end March this year - car accident. For 8 weeks or so I couldn't go to work - slow speech, slow cognitive function, no energy, lots of headaches - the usual . Now working part time and slowly getting back to full time. BUT - I have a job which i should love, but i can't get into it - couldn't care less in a way.
I am happy in all other ways - just reevaluating my work - thinking is this what I want to do for the rest of my life? Have taken an interest in a whole new field of work - I am at a middle / senior management level where I am now and have studied hard to get to where i am now.

I guess - have others found post concussion you have reevaluated your life, or your likes have changed. I am not making any drastic career changes at the moment, but keeping an eye on how I am feeling. I am aware it could be part of recovery and maybe I will get my old drive / ambition in my field back - but at the moment I have a real desire to pursue a new career path ( along with returning to study)

hmmmm - sorry for the confused post - i guess I am getting better, but am not quite my old self.

looking forward to seeing how the rest of the group is managing and if you have changed as a result of your concussion.

thanks
Chloe
