Since my concussions last year and following PCS I try to avoid situations where I can bump my head.

A few month ago I met an old friend, that I had not seen in years. She saw me and came running and hugged me real hard. Her head bumped into mine.
My symptoms started up right away and lasted over a week.

Since that day I am afraid of hugs, no matter how tender they are.
This year I did not even invite anybody for my birthday, because I was scared of the hugs and kisses.

Some of my friends already know of my problem, but not everybody.
Yesterday a colleague from work (who works in a different town) came by my work and hugged me. It was so quick that I had no chance to say no.

His arm came pretty hard on my head above my neck.
So today I have symptoms again.

I don't know what to to about my hugging problem. Is there anybody out there having the same problem?

Thanks, Anja
