Hi Tim, welcome to NeuroTalk.

You certainly have many classic symptoms of PCS. That said, as brain injuries go, yours is relatively recent. You are young, active and healthy. These are plus factors, and I expect you will see significant improvement. As Mark mentions, taking it easy with lots of quiet rest, good nutrition including vitamins is important at this point. I agree with you mom about stopping or at least limiting your physical activities, and it sound like you are doing this.

Regarding the depression symptoms, I have found both mindfulness meditation and massage therapy to be helpful; just ensure if you receive massage therapy the therapist is aware of your injury so they are careful around the head and neck. I also find gentle yoga helpful, this might be something to consider after your appointments with the neurologist and concussion specialist.

To provide some hope, my TBI was classified as moderate to severe. It took about five months after my injury, but I was able to return to work and resume most normal life activities and I’m more than twice your age

All brain injuries are different and they heal on their own schedule. Best to you on your recovery journey.
