post concussion syndrome
 

bascially, i'm 20 at the moment, got cocnussion in may last year from hitting my head on the kitchen floor, was in my first year of uni, didt do my exams that term, but had to write essays over the summer, so I thought everythign was better. Went back into my second year, and realised I couldn't remember lectures and stuff, adn it was way more difficult than it should hae been. So I'm taking a (few) year(s) out of uni. saw a consultant in dec, and they said it should get better in 5 years. its a long time (to me anyway)
basically, i was wondering if ny of you lot had any ideas of how to cope, my memory hasnt got at all better since last may, like I can't remember stuff people hae tol dme for more than bout 10 mins, and sometimes i completely forget if someones even spoken to me that day. even though I write stuff down, you can't write everything down can you!?
all of my friends are at uni, and can do stuff I cant, like remember what the did yesterday, get drunk, read stuff thats more than a page long without completely forgetting it. i don;t feel normal any more. and i think i come acrosss as stupid cos sometimes i cant think of words, or get the wrong words.
what am i meant to do??
