Default New here- looking for advice

This past October I had a fall which was nearly fatal resulting in 3 contusions and 2 skull fractures and my HR 2 away from a coma for 17 days.. So I count my blessings but I still don't know how to handle it. I'm a college student so I'm working on taking it easy while not putting my life on hold. I was just wondering if no one could relate to what's going on with me- its hard to talk to family and friends about all this because you can try am understand these things but until it is you there really is no grasp in the reality of it.. I have uncontrollable mood swings where I can go from laughing and smiling to screaming and cry for no reason.. I haven't had any taste or smell but its almost as if my brain captures an odor from around me and locks it in my nose for weeks at a time, very strange and I haven't heard of anything like this... My anxiety is through the roof- just to opposite of my attention span.. I get these headaches still that are unbearable and last for weeks at a time even with prescription drugs.. My memory is shot and I struggle to remember simple information (as an example and I apologize if this is too much information for y'all but when I have my period I have to set hourly reminders to use the bathroom and make sure I haven't leaked), I still am super sensitive in car rides with bumps, turns and whiplash and was wondering if its normal to experience that..
If anyone can give me any feedback, experiences from you or others anything I can relate to so I don't feel like I'm loosing my mind I'd be so grateful!!
