My main symptoms after a similar non-ko concussion over a year ago were very similar to yours ie. depersonalization, fatigue. I reacted VERY VERY badly. I was so scared I had permanent brain damage and this made my symptoms much worse. I was suicidal for many months and it took all my strength to get through each day.

I found that stuff like TV and the computer would tire me out and send me spinning quite quickly but I did them in small doses and then would just chill and recover. It was probably a good 4 or 5 months before I could watch a film.

I also got no help basically because PCS isn't taken seriously here in the UK...it's barely even recognised and certainly not treated. I was on my own so just read stuff on here and on the net to work out what I needed to do to get better.

Basically I think you need to just listen to your head. When it feels like it's getting too much, stop and do something else. It's really weird cos it's such a foreign feeling to be mentally tired. I had always gone through life being able to concentrate and perform highly at all times and it was so distressing to be unable to do the things I loved. Exercise is best done lightly.


I can still feel it now and it's over a year ago. The world isn't as vibrant and i don't feel fully in it again yet. But every month it gets a bit better.

Hope your recovery is quick.
