SlimJim,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. Your history sounds familiar around here.

Your learning struggles are common to Post Concussion Syndrome. Seeing a neurologist will be good to rule out any serious problems but not likely helpful with your concussion symptoms. Most neuros are not very good at understanding the cognitive struggles of PCS.

You likely have never taken the time to let your brain try to heal. Adding college life stresses just makes it worse.

You need to lower your stress levels so you do not become overwhelmed. You brain is struggling to process the many stimulations common to college life and study. You can succeed but not likely at the normal college pace. You will benefit from seeking help from the college Disabilities Services Department. Getting some assistance with note taking and maybe some tutoring and extra time for test taking will be a big help.

It is really not possible to push through these struggles. Learning work-arounds and accommodations for your struggles is the most common way to move forward.

Please tell us more about your specific struggles. There are plenty of good people here.

My best to you.
