Hello, new here. Long story long, I fell down a flight of ceramic stairs about 3.5 weeks ago, I don't remember if I knocked myself out, but I also don't remember getting up from the fall and putting myself to bed. I just know nothing has been good since. I fell on a Thursday (late night) but didn't go to my doc until the next Monday (just before Christmas). Was told by him that it was probably a concussion and to just rest. Suffered through the next two weeks (holidays) and finally went back to my docs this past Wednesday. Had a CT scan done this past Friday. Not sure what to expect as far as results and future treatment. Or if there is any future treatment.

List of symptoms:
My scalp is still fairly bruised on my left side, behind my ear, even after 3.5 weeks.
Headaches.
Dizzy.
Exhausted.
Hearing is jumbled (this is what is hardest for me to explain. No one is understanding what I am trying to tell them and I am frustrated. I can hear out of both ears, but they aren't syncing. A bubble type sound. I can't always figure out which direction the sound is coming from. Certain noises are excrutiating, voices, dishes, road noise, bass, loud bangs, which isn't good because I am a fairly accomplished percussionist, or I was....., this hearing thing leaves me exhausted, I haven't practiced my instrument since the fall).
My eyes hurt and get worse as the day goes on.
Depressed.
HIGH anxiety/panic attacks.
Insomnia. (Doc gave me lorazepam for this and panic attacks)
Nausea.
Mood swings. (I threw an absolute fit in my diveway this morning for zero reason and then cried all the way to work because I didn't know why I was mad).

I feel like everyone thinks I am over reacting or over embellishing my physical pain and symptoms. "Yup! You bumped yer head, Silly!". (That feels so condescending). I don't feel like my doc is taking this very seriously, either.

Any suggestions on how I am supposed to deal with starting this healing? Where to reach out to for serious help? I feel like I am going crazy and I want support, but I also just kinda want everyone to leave me the hell alone at the same time. If another person asks me if I am feeling better yet, I feel like I will snap on them. "NO! I DO NOT FEEL BETTER YET! I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT'S WRONG YET!" Is
what I think in my head, "Not yet! *smile*" is what I say to them. And then I find somewhere to cry.

Any positive feedback on my rant would be appreciated.
