That sounds awful
xburtonchicx and I can definitely see why you'd be so anxious about this.
The feeling of not knowing is what drives most of our anxieties and fears in life. If you have literally no idea how long this will last, then with little wonder you are worrying about how can you even
begin to comprehend getting through this?
As an outside observer, I will try to look at this objectively and see if it helps you shed some light in this dark time.
What is making you most uncomfortable right now is the anxiety and lows/depression. I am afraid I have no idea whether this would be suitable or not, it could be construed as "concentration" but it could also help immeasurably. I'm afraid I can't make the call as to whether it would be a good idea or not, but I would normally initially throw out the 'meditation' card to begin getting over any mental lows and anxieties. Some simple relaxing breathing techniques could help you when you consider this:
You are on a long walk through a dark, rainy, spider-web infested forest. Along the narrow path is massive spider-web after massive spider-web, getting caught up in your hair, frantically tangling all over your face, blanketing your entire body in a seemingly infinite web and ultimately slowing you down on the path.
All of these spider-webs are your worries, your sorrows and tribulations, all of your thoughts that nag at you and instil an endless anxiety.
When you meditate, you take a step back from the mayhem and spider-webs, and observe the path from afar.
You merely observe the path, every nuance, every problem, every worry, every issue that is holding you back from progressing as a content traveller.
Eventually, after time with continuous relaxation, you find that slowly but surely, the pestering spider-webs that once held you back are now disintegrating before your very eyes!
You soon realise that they were, in fact, merely a figment of your imagination and not worthy of your interest! They hold no bearing over your ability to progress as content as you are able. You even laugh off the idea that this was once a difficult journey, for it was merely your mind playing tricks (as it does so well) that altered your perception of the path.
The sun illuminates brightly the remainder of your journey and gives you the vision to enjoy what should be, and in essence is, a rather beautiful path.
What are you babbling on about A4 and what the hell has this got to do with concussion I hear you shout?!
Basically, when we meditate and take a step back from our thoughts and merely observe them passing with no direct involvement, it helps us break free from the paralysing shackles of emotional entanglement. This transitions into daily life where we find we can cope with everything a little better.
I don't want to make this post TL;DR so will try and wrap it up, but as you seemed so down and stressed, wanted to alert you to one of the best ways you can get through this (from someone with experience). Stressing yourself about this will only serve to hinder your progress. People have made miraculous recoveries from some life-threatening illness with simply meditation techniques, and the power of the mind is an incredible thing.
If you need any meditation tips or anything, let me know my friend.
Hope you get better soon, I know you will,
