And yes, this is probably one of the first times I have ever got hit in the head that hard. Right after it happened I noticed that I was seeing stars and dizzy and couldn't talk, but a few minutes later I felt normal and fine with just nothing but a headache. I didn't think of anything at the time of PCS or a concussion..
Then on a Friday morning I woke up feeling not myself. My thoughts seemed... quiet. They were so quiet, not as loud as they used to be. And that's the worst part of the whole thing. Because I can barely hear my own thoughts, I feel like I'm above my body watching my life go on and on. And it hurts because of school, though I seem to be doing okay in school so far. I have to wait until the 22 for the doctor to look at me and I'm really excited to know more about it. I just want to feel the same. I'm miserable and nobody knows it.
I'm seeing a counselor at school now but sooner or later I might need a shrink or something along those lines. My panic attacks are becoming less and less now... does that mean that I'm starting to get a little better? And I find myself tired a lot, but I'm busy so maybe thats why I'm so tired.
I just have a question or two. What is up with my thinking? Is it PCS or something different? Can it be something different? And since I'm so young will I start to feel better soon? Or late. Thanks for reading. You guys are really helping me.

hi shamu
improvement is something you are noticing thats a really good sign with concussion healing is so slow we can hardly notice changes .
but if you think how you felt when this began and fast froward to now. you will see how far you have come. now fast forward it another 3 months of improvement and you will be in a better place HUH
now getting back to normal depending on the severity of the injury, for some this may not be possible
but the younger you are and the more you take care of your self the better the out come
reference points to look back, are 3 months 6 months 1 year and 2 years
at any of these points you could be back to normal or even a matter of weeks
so take hart and do the best you can each day
