Hi, I'm a student looking for help on this board. I grew up in a bad neighborhood and attacked by some thugs with aluminum bats which left a dent on my head. I used to be a gifted students back in grade school. After that incident i found myself extremely impulsive and hyperactive. I used to be very patient as i loved to work with computers such as programming and graphics designing. However, I still made it to college and received average grades. 2 years after the first incident, I happened to dived into a pool with no shallow end which resulted in my second concussion. It has been a year now and I can't seem to manage my time at all. I can still hold very educational conversations but cannot manage a social one. Everything that i have learned after the second concussion has been a problem to retrieve. I can't seem to learn... I space in and out all the time as well. Some days i feel as if I'm my old self again and function normally. But other days I forget who I am and cannot get myself out of the house and be productive like how i used to be. The first concussion happened when I was 17. The second when I was 19. I am now 20 and struggling in a UC. I want my old self back... Its been one year since the 2nd incident. On days when I am stressed... my brain just shuts off. I can't seem communicate with my friends anymore.. I lost track of all of them... What would you guys suggest? I have not received any therapy so far... I feel so scatter brained.. I decided to built new habits such as being organize which seems to help a lot and makes my life a lot easier.. But i want my brain back.. I used to be extremely bright.. top student in my classes... specially in math... I just needed some venting since most people in my life wouldn't understand. I rather not burden them..
