Concussion/De-realism?!


Question: Concussion/De-realism?
I was boarding with a buddy last Saturday and i happened to fall backwards and before i knew it i banged my head against a piece of hard snow, i didn't pass out, i didn't puke, nothing, i felt fine for the rest of that day, (after i hit my head i started to feel really tired but thats it, so i googled some things and started to get really worried.) When i woke up in the morning i didn't feel like myself, everything felt like a dream and it still feels that way. I went to the hospital Tuesday night but the doc looked in my ears, checked my balance, yadda yadda yadda and everything seemed to be a-ok and that i had a mild concussion and that the side effects will go away within a week (its now saturday the 12th and i still feel like im in a dream, im trying to ignore the fact but its quite hard to.) The Doc said it would really be a problem if i was having seizures or vomiting but ive had no side effects resulting a bad concussion so he took out the possibility of having an mri/cat scan.

I take Zoloft for my anxiety and have been on 100mg for about a year and a half now and everything was fine, but im now wondering if everything came because i hit my head or if its just anxiety working up my brain into overload because im scared i really might have damaged something but in reality actually havent?

Stuff i have been feeling:
1. I watch a tv show and the next episode will come on a week later but i will barely remember what happened in the last episode.
2. I get bored by the stuff i used to love to do/watch/play
3. I have to think hard to remember something simple (feels like i've missed a year or so of my life and i have catching up to do)
4. Barely any appetite/always feeling lazy
5. Feeling like maybe i banged my head and went into a coma and all that's happening right now maybe is a dream?

But the weird thing is, the second i wake up i feel myself, but when i realize im awake it goes away completly

Has anyone ever felt this? I feel like all the work ive been doing to get rid of my depression/anxiety has come back and im sick of feeling like this, i really dont feel like having to live the rest of my life not feeling like myself, its the weirdest feeling i have ever felt

If anyone has any answers/knows what this is can you please let me know because im over worrying myself and i cant seem to get any answers. Thanks!

You probably need to talk to your doctor about the feelings you are having now, not so much from the perspective of the concussion but from the perspective of your anxiety and depression. You may need a change in medications. The stress caused by the concussion has probably exacerbated your other symptoms.
