Question Advice for Neuro appt?

Hi!
I was hopping to get some advice...it has been abut 10 months since my last recorded concussion and my symptoms are getting rapidly worse. I have made an appointment to go see the Neurologist again but this time its a new Doc. I want to make sure I get my point acrossed that what I'm feeling and going thru is real and not just "in my head" (as if my a mental patient). I suffer from confusion, memory loss, poor focus, no balance (I fall over at least 8 times a day, like onto my bottom) all the other times I catch my self. Throbbing in ears, and more but I don't need to hear from another idiot with a paper saying they are better then me that I'm over exaggerating and there's no way I feel like that or there's no way my memory is that bad (I'm 22 btw). All I ever hear is I'm depressed and over exaggerating it. I'm rather happy in life minus the new difficulties I am a worrier but that has always been. But yeah I'm rambling on. Any tips on how to get my Doc to actually listen? And not just blow off everything I say?
