Hello guys,

I haven't been hear in over a year and just want to spread my message.
Two years ago I thought my brain was damaged. I had all the symptoms you could imagine. I was detached, dizzy, had blurry vision and a set of crazy symptoms I'll never forget.
It all started when I bumped my head and I got a headache. I thought I had a concussion and a week later I sarted feeling miserable. I went from doctor to doctor but they could not find anything. I went to the ER and to every specialist around. It was a horrible time and I no treatment helped.
The doctors looked at me and just shrugged their shoulders and told me that my nervous system was probably damaged, some just stared at me with a funny look, like if I was crazy.
I was then send to a neuropsychologist. I remeber that session. I was sitting in front of her with dark sunglasses because I thought all the sensation around me would damage my brain even further.
She explained to me that the only thing being wrong with me was my reaction when I bumped my head. She said that it was only in my head and my anxiety caused all of this.
Well I did not belive her at first. What did this **** just say? I am not stupid, I thought, I really suffer from a serious condition and you don't know what I am going through.
But she urged me to believe her and yes it made sense. The x ray, nor the MRI showed anything specific and I just bumped my head. And I had an anxiet issue before all this happened.
But why was I experiencing all the symptoms then?
Anxiety does this to you. It manifest in crazy thoughts and symtomps. I educated myself on the subject and realized that every symptom I experienced was also found in anxiety disorders.
I went to a therapist and I was in fact diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, including health anxiety.
After this diagnosis I went out and did sport for the first time in months. Before that I wouldn't even dare to sneeze or shake my head. I didn't take my meds anymore and faced my fears and it just took a month and the first symptoms started to disappear. It took me a while to get up the courage but in the end I overcame my fears and lost all my symtomps. I do a lot of sport nowadays and lead a happy life.
This is for the people that only have a minor concussion, and didn't pass out or anything. This is also for the people that have had anxiety issues before. I really am convinced that the post concussion syndrome exists but our body is the best healing system in the world and when bumping your head it will quickly repair itself.
Please don't feel offended by my statement. If you can afford it see a neuropsychologist or a doctor that specialized on anxiety. Or just check out this website. You find a list of symptoms when you scroll down. http://www.anxietycentre.com/anxiety-symptoms.shtml

Best wishes to everyone!
