Dear Rugger,
First, acknowledge that you are not in fact stupid. Sports accidents, head collisions happen. It's the same in life even if one is not involved with sports. And yes, as you've indicated to Chris, you will get better.
As to your question above: "Should I push myself and just do my school work? I don't know how long I can keep living without doing anything." ... I think you already made a wise decision in this regard, in your previous post to Chris:
"Have you talked to your professors about taking an incomplete for this semester? I finally did that this week and it took a huge load of stress off of my shoulders. Now I'm mainly focusing on "resting" as opposed to trying to force myself through school work. I'm hoping that I'll be better come January and can get everything done then."
Don't give up hope. You are still only about a month post-concussion; and you are actually quite physically active for so early-on in your recovery.
Others will be along here shortly to add input, experience, and answer any specific cardio and sports activity questions for you.
Hoping for you a good recovery. Again, I think you are a very wise young woman, Rugger.
Keep taking good care and don't push yourself.
Theta
