I’m not a doctor or psychologist but with your history of dyslexia it may just be resurfacing when you feel stressed. Slow meditative breathing may help calm this. Otherwise it sounds as if you have recovered pretty well. Best to you.
Thanks for the advice! My dyslexia issue is fairly minor its not much of a bother I was just more so curious to see if it was injury related. I mainly just need to work on chilling out. As far as short term memory my main issue was I'd be feeding livestock then I'd be like did I put 5 loads in the bin or just 4? As it improved I found I'd be having a conversation and I'd forget a certain word they used in a sentence part way through the convo I told my doc told me to chill out and not look for every little thing that could possibly be wrong since then its been night and day difference. My concussion itself was fairly minor I was sick to my stomach about 6hrs after but no headache no dizzyness or anything like that. What had happened is I had an anxiety attack after I saw my own blood passed out hit my head. Compared to some of the stories I've seen on here I almost feel kind of dumb posting mine lol but thanks again for your input I appreciate it!
