My daughter had a fairly heavy concussion. They take time to heal. They aren't just a day or a week and you're good. There also may be permanent damage, but don't assume that what you have now is what you'll have long-term. There's still healing.

Especially, concussions take rest. Let yourself rest. Give yourself permission to take the time to rest. You need - temporarily, but for an extended period - to stop driving yourself to try to measure up to what you could do before. You need to not feel guilty for doing so. It feels like you're being lazy. You're not - you're being smart. You're taking the time to rebuild what you can, so that you've got more available to use going forward.

Note well: I am not an MD, just a rando on the internet offering advice. If an actual doctor tells you something different, listen to them.
