It sounds like you idea of CBT therapy may be a good start. You need a professional to help you with this. You might want to discuss the Ritalin and its side-effects.

Thank you, Mark.

Have you ever had CBT? If so, can you please tell me what should I expect from such treatment?

The side effects of the Ritalin don't bother me much, but I guess it could somewhat delay my recovery, so I might soon go for a very long period of time (6-12 months) without taking it in order to ease the recovery. I'm very close to my senior year (which is easier than the current one), so I probably won't need to take the Ritalin anyway.

Concussions:

27 October 2014 - I accidentally smashed my head against a concrete wall while I was running (it was a slow run of about 3 meters / second).
No LOC.

6 November 2014 - In a sports field, A basketball ball fell on my head from about 5 meters height.

January 2, 2016 update: I am very optimistic, as I've made a significant recovery until now (2-Jan-2016). I am confident that my situation will keep improving.
