Think back to the years before your concussion. How many times have you bumped your head without any problems?
What are your concerns about these bumps?
The fact you still have bad symptoms from a concussion that was 2 months ago suggests, from a statistical standpoint, that you suffered from anxiety and depression prior to your concussion. If this is the case, those same statistics suggest that you will not improve much until you resolve your underlying anxiety issues.
So, your goal should be moderating your anxiety issues and finding a way to become convinced of the lack of risk from these everyday bumps.
Reducing stress and chaos in your life is a start. Many, especially younger people, think a chaotically busy life full of stimuli is normal. Loud music, aggressive music/lyrics, multi-tasking, relational conflicts, and the rest are a normal part of life that should be tolerated. They are hard on healthy brains and can be overwhelming on injured brains.
