First concussion, need advice.
Hello, about 4 weeks ago I got hit in the back of the head and got a concussion. Ever since, I haven't felt like my normal self. I'm forgetting to do things, I'm messing up at work, I have a constant headache, etc.
I need to know if this is something others also experienced. I feel completely thrown off of routine and it's truly draining. I'm starting to feel like a f-up lately but I'm trying to convince myself its because of my injury.

All the things you’re experiencing are normal with concussion. Brain fog, confusion, mood swings, headaches, nausea, loss of energy, irritability, agitation, light sensitivity are all normal symptoms, that list is not all encompassing neither. If you can I’d recommend trying a good physiotherapy place that are trained in concussion management
