penguinesfan,

You keep repeating the same post and questions. This can be a manifestation of poor memory from you concussion, rigid thinking, again from your concussion, or OCD which can be from your concussion or pre-existing. Either way, I don't think you will improve until you have made progress with your OCD and hypochondria ( a common manifestation of OCD). They are all connected.

In response to your final question, yes, many have recovered to substantially improved levels to allow them to live a full life.

But, I don't think you can pursue a full life until you have resolved your OCD and hypochondria. You need to seek help for this. Your home life has patterned you poorly. Getting free of the influences that negatively impact your life will give you a better chance to improve your life in all areas, including your Post Concussion Syndrome.

It appears to me that your OCD has you obsessing about you physical presentation and athletic activities, too. I suffer from OCD and know how it can make life difficult. Now that I have it being successfully managed, my life is much better.

Have you tried to get help for your OCD and hypochondria? You will be amazed at how it can help you.

My best to you.
