Hi,

I've had PCS for about 2 and a half years, and I still get that exact kind of anxiety all the time. Sometimes I even find myself retracing my steps and other unnecessary things just to see if I did indeed get hit. That might not be helpful to hear, but at least know that you're not alone.

For me, the only thing I can really tell myself is that I've never had a hit to the head that's caused symptoms of more than two days where I didn't know the cause. Basically, every time my head gets hit in a way that will cause real symptoms, I know right away, and it feels different than the ghost feelings and symptoms that often come up when you speculate about whether you got hit or not. The head is sensitive, and has your ears and eyes: if you got hit there, you'd know it
