Stay or Go,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. Sorry for your reason for being here.

First, as jcastro said, stop playing sports. But I would suggest stopping ALL contact sport PERMANENTLY. It sounds like you have some academic/career goals that are high. Concussion does not allow high achievement without making some serious changes to lifestyle, like avoiding 'like the plague' any further jolts to the brain.

I suggest you start some kind of work with similar intensity levels and see how much effort your brain can handle. Try one, then two then three days of solid effort with a day off between. If you can remain symptom free for the whole day off, you may be able to tolerate the next level.

If not, you will need to rest your brain and slowly increase your work load at a later date. You are very late at considering the internship work effort.

Have you been checked out by a doctor? You need someone who has expertise with concussion. They are hard to find. Your vision and computer/TV issues are classic PCS.

Your school should have a Disabled Services department that can help you understand how to present your struggles to prospective employers and schools. There are rules and programs to help with your condition.

What graduate study are you pursuing?

If it is psychology, you will be well equipped to serve the Post Concussion community. Most who serve the PCS community are clueless about how it really affects the PCS sufferer.

btw, Don't start the internship with the employer in the dark. It can bite you hard if you have any problems. The accommodations you may need should be discussed before hand. Again, Disability Services at school should be able to help. You local brain Injury Association would also be a good resource.

My best to you.
