Lately, i've been feeling unusual. I have bad headaches and trouble sleeping from time to time. I wouldn't say its ruining my life, but it is making it difficult. Received a text from a friend today, and didn't know who she was for a few minutes.

I think I have PCS.

I am a student. Lately, i've been living my life normally (going to class, to the grocery store, etc.). But, when my symptoms hit, THEY HIT. Some days are better than others. I don't get how on Monday I could spend all day in bed, but Tuesday feel fine enough to go to my internship.

I feel like I don't know what to do. I know I need to heal, but I guess my injury just doesn't feel serious enough for me to abscond school and move to my aunt's.

Does anyone have any suggestions from a similar personal experience or a loved one? Should I stay home until I totally feel better? Should I split my time between home and my apartment at school (to try to mantain some normalcy?)

THANKS EVERYONE.
