I hit my head into a sharp table corner while playing with the dog a couple hours ago. To somebody else, it was just "an ouch! darn cupboard, Ill take an advil and be more carefull next time" but to me its "Oh no. now I feel nausea. And headache. What if I have internal bleeding. Yes, I feel dizzy. And the headache gets worse. What if i start vomiting or suddenly the headache starts real bad. Think about Natasha Richardson. Im going to die". And now am in a situation where my head occasionally hurts a bit (not all the time), I get small waves of nuisea and some dizziness but nothing major and STILL I am certain that it will all start getting worse soon. The terrible butterflies are in my stomach too. That is usually a sign of anxiety..and not head trauma.. (and of course am thinkin that when Im dead everybody will say that if she just wouldve gone to the ER.. and now i would like to go to bed and relax but no, as if thats possible.
I hate this. Healt anxiety sufferers unite.
