Many people who have slow recoveries took months to be convinced to slow down and rest. Only a small percentage take longer than 6 weeks if they rest during those first weeks. Delaying the start of your rest just extends that 6 week period. It does not cause long term damage.

Don't EVER feel bad. Everyone just wants you to get better.

I think its likely that they know of concussion but I'm guessing they might be quick to dismiss the existence PCS (at least as a neurological entity).

I feel for you, man. I start school very soon and I'm dreading it.

Update:

Haven't went to school Monday and Tuesday and went to my Sports medicine doctor on Tuesday because I felt really bad.

He said that I was doing better with my concussion other than me having headaches still but I just don't feel right...he said that I probley should go back on Ritalin for my lack of concetration..

Like I said just don't feel like I did even 2 weeks ago. My mouth has like this metalic taste and if I eat or drink anything then that taste lingers, my mouth is really watery and stuff, loss of appetite.my legs sometimes feel weak, feet are cold and sometimes tingly, and just low energy

I tried to tell him all this and I understand that he can't diagnose me with anxitey but I just need to be told that it's normal and all.

I have this feeling that this anxiety won't go away and that all the time I will think about it all the time.

The anxiety will get better as you heal more and more. Why suffer in the meantime...get a reference to a psychiatrist from your primary.

Yeah I hope he helps with something, going for a check up on the 16th and usually I'm scared to go to the docs for check ups (i hate needles ) but kinda just need to be reassured and calmed down...

Shady, How often have the docs stuck you with a needle ? I've seen plenty of docs. Not had a needle for decades except when I needed sutures for a bad cut.
