Nevertheless he said my symptoms r from me bumping my head that in time it should resolve. I mentioned other tests, such as fmri, eeg, pet etc... he said not necessary. He said to get another opinion , from a different neurologist. Im going crazy.

An option to seeing another neurologist would be to consult with a clinical neuropsychologist. A clinical neuropsychologist specializes in brain/behavior relationships; their approach is more focused on resolving cognitive, behavioral and emotional deficits than a neurologist typically would be. A full neuropsychological assessment would be expensive but if you have health insurance this may be covered.
Your injury is fairly recent. Progress in TBI recovery is more often measured in weeks or months rather than days. Your recent posts have more detail and seem more thought out and focused than your early posts, which in and of itself suggests you are already improving.
Look for the positives rather than dwelling on the negatives. You can’t change the fact that you suffered a concussion, but you can be an active participant in your recovery. As Mark stated your anxiety is not helpful. People recover. Wishing you progress each day.
