I'm on the same page. If you look at the commonalities between people who experience PCS, e.g. anxiety, depression, preoccupation with symptoms, etc..., it certainly seems like there's a strong mental component.
Not to say that the physical symptoms aren't real. They certainly are in my case. But I agree with you that they are likely triggered by something mental. That's why I think these physical "symptoms" that we experience are boogeymen.

Something inside me thinks a lot of what I'm going through is more mental than physical. It's when I modify and seclude myself that I feel worse. When I skip out on games, knowing full well that I can play them, my symptoms increase. Acknowledging the condition seems to make it worse.
I struggle with even identifying myself as having PCS because since day one of my incident, I have constantly focused on and worried exclusively on my head. I feel like I've "worried" my way into this predicament. The day of the incident and the few days succeeding it, I really had no hardcore or solid symptoms.
