Default Problems after car accident, feel so alone and scared

Hello, just joined and am pleased to have found this forum as I feel so alone.

A little background...I was rear ended by 2 trucks 4 months ago (one hit and run) I had a concussion, cervical neck sprain, rotator cuff injury and contusions to my head and face.
Right after the accident I was so disorientated, felt sick, it also felt as though there was an elephant sitting on the top of my head.
Could not remember 2 trucks hit me until the next day, kept saying only one did and it was a massive crash.

Even since then I have not felt the same, I am in PT and OT (vestibular therapy too) feel so disorientated, foggy, cannot remember what I was going to say, for eg: I'll ask someone to pass me something and even staring right at the thing cannot think what it's called, I feel dizzy when walking.

Even though I'm in therapy for my shoulder etc it's the mental stuff which is so upsetting, the therapist told me she could probably get me a lot better but her words were not 100% which upset me.

I'm doing exercises at home, eye exercises etc.. (which actually make me feel worse!!)

thanks for listening, I know I'm not alone, this is awful!
