Hey guys
The night before last I was getting ready for bed & began to lean back quickly to lay on pillows. I smacked the top of my head on the back frame of the bed. Afterward I stayed up about an hour to make sure & fell asleep once the hour was done as I was too tired.
I woke up remembering what happened & felt worried about it most of the day. But I still was getting things done like I went to a job interview, exercised, etc. Yet I was still worried & the problem is that with my anxiety I tend to get a swaying/lightheaded/dizzy/foggy feeling pretty much daily so my anxiety keeps telling me it's associated with the head bump. Plus I get mild pressure like headaches but I've always gotten these headaches lately because of my allergies and stres. This morning I'm still worried but still going to go out. I was feeling tired yesterday but I had woken up way earlier than when I usually wait up. The spot where I hit it feels a little achy.
My pupils are even and constrict when light is shown on them and I have no problems with thinking and communicating aside from the occasional brain fart but that happens especially if I'm distracted or anxious. I never lost consciousness or vomited or anything like that. I squeezed my eyes shut, put my hand on it, said "ow ****". Typical stuff.
Realistically I know I'm likely fine especially since it's been well over 24 hours and the bump wasn't even that bad. I've smacked my head way worse in the past before anxiety. My sister once smacked into a tree and then fell on rocks & blacked out for a few seconds, got checked for a concussion & she was fine. Yet my anxiety rears its ugly head and I get convinced I have some injury to the brain and I won't be able to tell the difference between my everyday anxiety symptoms and an injury. But surely I'd be doing way worse by now.
I hate anxiety. But I guess something finally took my attention away from my breathing. Lol.
