I was in the club of "I have no choice but to continue working." Well, let me tell you, you DO have a choice, and your concussion may get you to realize it by force.
Best case scenario, cognitive work will delay your recovery. Worst case scenario, cognitive overwork will make your symptoms worse. This is what happened to me. I ended up being off work for an entire semester (I was a teacher) and still have not been able to go back full time yet.
