Concussion recovery

This is my first concussion and my doctor told me he thinks it would be best if I tried to live my life normally and not stop doing things I usually do since I’m the type of person who would just sit there and think about it until I get even worse, and I have been having the worst headaches and neck pain I’ve ever had, also I went through a breakup at the end of January and I was just starting to feel sort of ok again and BAM since I hit my head I’ve been crying about him everyday again,,,, so my question is, for all of you who’ve had headaches, how long did it take you to sort of get back to normal again? And also I know people are going to comment on the fact that I shouldn’t be on my phone but I have also been minimizing that aswell, I just want some advice
