My own experience is that mental fatigue/cognitive fatigue remains highly characteristic of pcs.
It is something ongoing we must work to be proactive, to be preventative, e.g. whenever we are going and/or doing.

crystal mentioned, it is good to allow yourself 'safe' opportunities for being social, e.g. a TBI support group.

It's wise to be protective of yourself as well, e.g. your choosing to not go out with friends in a usual way.
Perhaps 1:1 easy walks together or such may be better.

You are young and that is on your side, re: making a good recovery.

I would highly recommend to your attention for brief, easy reading sessions,
Dr. Claudia Osborn's book Over My Head.

Hoping all the best for you in your recovery, Safina.
