Hi lovely people on this forum!


Do you have any suggestions on how to handle the stress of new head bumps? I've had a couple of concussions in my life that left me feeling like hell for months and now that I am finally feeling better, every small bump to my head gets me near suicidal because I dread suffering through that horrible experiences again.

Today I accidentally bumped my head on the armthing on my sofa while lying down, it hit my ear and now there is some pain in my temple, a little nausea and LOTS of fear and anxiety. I am convinced gave myself another concussion, but praying I didn't. I have another chronic illness and trying to heal from that and getting these head injuries is such a heavy burden on me.

How do you handle these types of events, cause no matter how cautious I am, these things happen from time to time. It is so hard for me to tell if the hit is hard enough to give me a concussion or not and the hours or days after are just hell.

Do you have any ideas like how to tell if the hit is a concussion, if you can just ignore it, what to do IF it is a new concussion etc?
