Yeah Mark I know but I didn't do that....if I had to rate how much tv and phone I used probley would be 8 or 9....I know I messed myself up

Don't worry about how much you messed up. I think you are worrying too much about it and that does no good. Just do the right thing now,

Markneil,

So does that mean resting a lot now,

I'll be honest with you. I'd rather let those with much more knowledge answer that, and they will. I just don't want you worrying. You'll heal better if you don't.

School needs to be told if you're still unwell and the stress and strain is making you feel worse.

These accommodations I was talking about would only be temporary until you're able to concentrate better and need less rest. Your parents would organize all that with the school. You'd need a doctor's letter outlining the situation. Schools/teachers would be or should be aware of the limitations of a recent concussion. The fact that you're having problems with it doesn't mean it'll last forever, it just means that you have a teenage brain and that you haven't fully recovered, yet you're wanting to keep up in school.

Schools/teachers would know the drill for students in this situation.

Part of the way you're feeling again now may be because you've gone back to school and the stimuli of busy classrooms and hallways can be very overwhelming let alone having to keep up with work and homework etc..

You're still very anxious by the sound of it. I know it is frustrating for you, but you'll get better.

Hey man I feel for you. I have had a concussion since my junior year. I am now graduated, but I still feel the effects of PCS. I know how you feel. Senior year sucked for me. I didn't have a normal senior year. Being in the classroom setting definitely made me feel crummy. However, I am getting better. Even though it has felt like a long time, I know that I will be healed. I am not saying that your concussion will last as long as mine. I am just saying that I support you because I know how bad it must feel to be in school. I hope things will get better for you soon.

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

Alright thanks for everything,sometimes I feel bad when I'm worrying at one month about my concussion when other people on here are like 1+ years and they still feel as they just had there concussion

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.

Mark in Idaho,

So I should rest now then....I will have to tell my school about the concussion then and figure something out
