some other things you might want to look out for which may be signs of concussion include (unusal compared to normal expereinces of) memory problems, confusion, drowsiness or feeling sluggish, dizziness, double vision or blurred vision, headaches, sickness or vomiting, sensitivity to light or noise. But im no doctor, I just got that info online.

Hi @outlander,
It really does sound like things are difficult for you at the moment. Maybe the forum is a good place for you if its not too triggering.
There were a couple of activites on your plan that dont need too much energy. I notice one of those things were mindfulness; how helpful do you find that?
ps: im not the forum moderator after 2pm, so im here just as another forum member.
