Default scared about my outcome

Well the last couple of months have really been taking it's toll on me. I have been inpatient to get my medications adjusted. I was told I would have cognitive and mood issues for the rest of my life. It'll be a year in July and just now are people starting to realize just how much PCS has effected my life. I cant drive. I'm on alot of meds and I keep bumping my head or falling and giving myself concussions. I am recovering from one this week. I'm discouraged. I was told to give it another year and some therapy and see if my "totally disabled status" into partial but I dont think it's going to happen. In order to stay "stabalized" I need to be on meds that I cant drive on. The painkillers are also scary. It has declined my cognitive functioning but my mood is better and I'm not thinking bad thoughts anymore. Where do you draw the line here? I'm scared and unsure about how to approach at my next therapy appt. I was told last week if I didn't slow down like I was in the hospital he will put me back so I can rest. I have to nap 3 two hour sessions to give my brain time to heal. I'm so confused. Any feedback will be appreciated no matter how much I may not want to hear it. lol
