Okay so I'm 18 and I'm the 12th grade. Today we were having a free day in P.E. and I was sitting on the bleachers playing with my cell phone.
A group of boys were, I guess, practicing how hard they can possibly kick and were kicking a (I think volleyball) at the wall as hard as possible. The noises the balls made when hitting the wall was intense and kept scaring me because it was so loud and fast.
So I was sitting at the end of the bleachers closest to the wall when all of a sudden a ball is kicked full force at the wall and hits me in the head HARD. I almost fell off the seat.
Everyone saw and and kind of went "OHH" because it was really hard. I felt really intense pain at first, but then just weird lightheadedness. Like I can still feel the pressure where it hit me, and i have a headache still.
I went to the nurse and she checked my pupils and said they were fine, and had me memorize three words which i still remember.
Well, I have horrible health anxiety thay I've been dealing with for three years so I'm freaking out. You know those stories you hear about people getting hit on the head, feeling fine afterwards, then dying? UGH.
To make matters worse I cant see a doctor. I have no health insurance and my mom has to leave for work in an hour. She worked 12 hours last night and has only gotten like 3 hours of sleep since then and has to go work another 12 hours tonight then drive me right back to school tomorrow only for her to work another 12 hours after I get home!
I'm just really stressed right now. I want to take a nap so bad, but they say not to do that if you have a head injury. Someone please help me, I feel hopeless. :(
