Yeah it sucks, I just feel that I will never get back to my old self and just not worrying so much. I go back to school on Monday and I'm just praying that I don't get really bad headaches because if I don't I maybe able to focus as school as much as I can, also I have ADHD so my lack of concetration has went threw the roof, and my mind is ALWAYS on the concussion and stuff like that

If your mind is always on your concussion, I struggle to believe your ADHD is that serious. If you can stay focused on your concussion, you can use the same effort to stay focused on class work. Just a thought for you to consider.

Mark,

I mean it was always hard to concentrate on school before the concussion, my mind would just wander,

Also I got b-12 vitamins, I got 1500 mcg and it says fast dissolve (mixed berry flavor) is that good enough to start?

I have given advice not to obsess. Mark is right. If we can focus on our injury we can focus on something else too.

I've driven myself crazy taking online memory tests then go nuts if I don't do well enough.

I analyze every symptom and it gets you nowhere.

I'm sick of it and am going to take online courses even if I never work again.

Ive obsessed on the whos, hows, and whys of my injury and it has accomplished nothing. Don't let my mistakes be wasted. Learn from them.

I don't know what i'll be like a year or ten years from now but staying on the couch terrified hasn't helped any...just saying

I know a lot of you guys are early in your injuries so it is tough not to obsess, just whatever you can do that is healthy and gets your mind off the injury, do it.

I know how u feel, I also anaylize every symptom and drives me crazy and I guess it's because I was always worried about everything that feels wrong in my body and I did that before my concussion,

Like right now my feet have been cold and like a weird feeling and I have been fatigued so I though of course that something was majorly wrong but it might just be B12 deficiency.

I got to stop looking up everything, I saw this pic on Facebook that is perfect for me it says like "looked up my symptoms on WebMd and I'm dying"

I got to stop and just realize that I'm somewhat fine because I noticed that I don't eat well

It's not easy. It's our bodies and minds and we want it to feel as close to perfect as possible.

We have to be stronger than the average person because of the symptoms we have.

You can still have hope that they will get better over time. Temper that by dealing as well as you can with them right now.

We're not unusual or odd. I remember a Sopranos episode where Tony was mad because his friend was paying attention to his cancer symptoms instead of listening to Tony.

Every time I forget something I have a heart attack that I'm on the way to dementia...it gets tiring and counter productive to healing.

Let's be informed about our injury and what we can do to feel better, but also make sure we get distracted as much as we can during the day.
