jsa,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. It sounds like you have some work ahead to be ready for college study.

How long has it been since you motocross wreck ? What rehab have you undergone ? Are you living a normal college weekend life with beer and such ?

There are a lot of things you can and need to do to tolerate the stresses of college. You need to get your brain nourished properly with vitamins and supplements. See the thread "Vitamins." Your daily schedule may need to be modified to lower the stresses it causes.

It may be best to take a semester off to get a better grip on living with TBI/PCS. btw, a concussion is a TBI, just usually a mild TBI. Your history of concussions from football should be considered a part of your overall brain health history. Further, you suffered hundreds of sub-concussive impacts that are just as damaging as the TBI.

It will help if you can get a NeuroPsychological Assessment to help you understand how well your brain is functioning. Then, you can focus on learning the many work-arounds and accommodations that many of us use to live a full life. At your age, you have plenty took forward to as long as you protect your brain from further impacts.

What courses are you struggling with the most ? How did you do with your course work prior to your motocross injury ?

Have you gotten rid of your motocross cycle ? It sounds like you need to put that hobby in the past.
