That's awesome. Thanks for sharing.

I've sent you an email from temporaryalt2930290@gmail.com . It might end up in spam.

That sounds great. I couldn't find an email in your profile - could you email me? temporaryalt2930290@gmail.com I realise it's a bit weird using alts for everything. I keep things …

Thank you for the advice. I don't think I'll go the freelance route, at least without significant improvement.

I've always been decent at writing, and when it's about something I am interested in I enjoy it. I love history, though I haven't had much chance to read about it since the concuss…

It's good to hear that the degree apprenticeships work on interesting stuff - that's the reason I'm so interested in GCHQ, I'd love to work on some really interesting problems. I a…

There's CCTV footage of the attack on me as well. The problem isn't proving what happened, it's sentencing. The police (after 3 months of waiting...) told me not to bother, and I s…

I'll try some cardiovascular exercise. I find walks in nature (there's a nearby forest) significantly improve my mental health, but they're not intensive. I've already discussed go…

Thank you for the link. It's good to know that people can heal with proper treatment. Getting that treatment is difficult in the UK. As a nation we've entirely committed to a natio…

Thank you. You sensed correctly - I'm definitely stressed. I've recently started to weight lift for different reasons (RSI) and while I haven't noticed cognitive improvement as sug…

I hadn't considered that. Thank you for mentioning it. I'd like to avoid adding even more stress, but I'll see if I can talk to a lawyer about it.

I've also got repetitive strain injury in my wrists and fingers, and I finally started going to the gym recently to try to help with that. I haven't found cognitive improvement, bu…

Thank you for the kind words. I'll try to change my language around it. I plan to take as much time as I need between A levels (high school) and uni. I've got the summer break comi…

Thank you. My ability to write doesn't seem to have been affected by the concussion (different part of the brain?) and it's nice to have at least one thing I'm still good at.

Thanks, that's good to hear.

In terms of medical help, the NHS is focusing on preventing the headaches. I've been prescribed topirimate, which gave me horrible side effects (stopped after 3 days), and small do…

Thank you, I hadn't heard of cognitive neurotherapy/neurofeedback. It's been suggested by some other people in this thread. I looked into it and I can get it privately for ~£2000, …

That's the plan with the gap year. I'm not sure about taking a year out in the middle of my A levels. I'm hoping next year is better. As a result of doing further maths I did the t…

Thank you, that's good to hear.

Hello. I'm 17, in the UK, doing A levels. I was previously highly successful for my age, academically and in extracurricular programming projects. I was reasonably competent at pro…
