Hey all,
So I've been almost constantly worried about brain damage for months now. It all started when I bumped my head over the summer, and got worried that I would get permanent damage from that, even though the doctor said he didn't think it was a concussion. Now I've been constantly thinking and dwelling on past injuries, like when I fell of my bike as a kid, or hit my head on a basketball court. And even smaller things, like I remembered how on the bus to school I used to rest my head on the window, and when it went over big bumps sometimes the window would hit my head.
I'm in graduate school, and I'm worried that these experiences will make me not smart enough to succeed. I'm also worried about CTE like football players have been shown to get, even though I've never played. Does this sound rational? I sometimes look at myself as being damaged, but I don't know if it's because I just worry about things so much.
