A neck issue can easily be the trigger.
I think you are correct at pointing toward your intense OCD/anxiety. That can make a symptom that would normally be a 1 out on a 10 scale appear to be a 8 out on 10 scale.
What are you doing for your OCD? OCD makes PCS miserable.

Thanks for the response Mark/Jomar
I am seeing a psychologist to help with my OCD like thoughts, she suggested writing down the things that make me feel anxious so that afterwards i can look back and see that they did not cause further damage. I did not suffer from OCD/anxiety before the injury and so it still feels so new and difficult to deal with.
I am going to see a physio for my neck issues that have got a lot worse recently and are probably the cause of this feeling as if my brain is moving within my head/other symptoms.
