Thanks Mark.

I'm really trying to rationalize with myself, but it's very difficult.

To be honest I am abjectly failing in my endeavors to manage my anxiety. I have gotten on the Vitamin regimen as described in the Sticky, (thanks for your contributions there, btw), and that does seem to help, to a degree.

I'm going to keep calling doctors in my area, who accept my insurance, in the hope of finding someone. I do need professional help. But it's very discouraging when every doctor I call is either not accepting new patients, or charges outlandish and untenable co-pays. In any case, I'll persevere.

I've found I have a very skewed perception of impact forces. So much so that, when a fly hits my head, I perceive it as a hard impact. I mean, my friend did kind of swing her arm up around my head, so maybe it was a hard impact after all. I don't know. Likelihood is you're right, it wasn't even 1 g.

Thanks for the rational response.
