A point to consider when discussing 'full recovery' is that most will experience an increased sensitivity to future concussions or a increased level of symptoms from subsequent concussions. So, feel great about recovering but take reasonable steps to avoid future concussions like avoiding contact sports, etc. We can't control those accidental bumps but we can avoid known risks of head impacts.

Enjoy your recovery but be wise.

Yeah, I've stopped any sort of contact sports and I am extra careful with my movement around any sort of object. I do think this is adding to my anxiety and stress though, I think about stuff I never would've normally. I miss playing soccer a lot, but I can't imagine when the next time I'll feel comfortable to head a ball again will be. Just the thought of it right now terrifies me, and I used to be a hardcore player, slide tackling even in pickup games and all..
