Wow, you finish your homeschooling in 20 minutes. My kids took much longer than that with their homeschooling.

You need to get off the video games. they are definitely not good for your recovery, They cause too much brain processing and visual overload.

Depression after a concussion is not based on your living experience/environment. It is a reaction to the stresses out on the brain by the injury and the other stresses such as too much audio and visual stimulation (video games).

The crying is also a PCS symptom. Crying at TV commercials is not uncommon.

The depersonalization you describe is common. The disrupted sensory and cognitive processes lead to this feeling of being different or not the person you remember yourself to be. Just relax and wait it out. It should pass given enough time.

btw, You should change your screen name to something beside your real name. You can do it in the personal profiles section. I think it is under 'User CP' It will automatically change your name on prior posts.


My best to you.
