I'm lucky to have a member in the family who is a psychologist so that's very beneficial, though as expected something very odd happened. I thought to myself: "as long as I prevent my head from getting hit, I will be able to keep the anxiety at bay" The thing I've been told and learned is that this is impossible since apparently it will find other ways as I experienced today (of course you can't prevent small impacts to your head forever). So as I had nothing to worry about yesterday, I was fully aware of that it was just a matter of time before my brain would start to complain about me not being worried as usual. So what happened was that I was walking up the stairs putting on a shirt and then suddenly I lost balance a bit and hit the wall. I'm fairly certain that I only hit the wall with my shoulders, but a few seconds later my fears made me doubt my own judgement. I had no symptoms of anything, but the scary thing was that my memory of the event got twisted around. Can anxiety create such delusions and screw with your memory? I am actually beginning to believe I hit my head on the wall but for some reason I simply didn't notice it.
I'm not sure how much you guys know about what anxiety can do, but if it can create delusions of events and make you doubt what really happened, I'd like to know!
