Hi there,

I’ve had four concussions in the past two years. Granted, i have a lot of anxiety around hitting my head. But my third concussion, in january of this year, happened when i hit my head on my desk at work standing up after having leaned over.

Flash back to today and i did the same exact thing at work - went under my desk to grab my laptop cord and on the way back up smacked it on the side of my head. It was hard enough my coworker asked if i was okay and looked concerned. Since this is how i got my third concussion, i went in a spiral and have been crying all night. Immediately i felt out of it and i have a headache, vision blurred and general very odd feeling.

If this is how i got my third concussion exactly, chances are it’s actually a concussion this time and not my anxiety right? I can’t put my life on hold and deal with this again. I don’t know why it keeps happening. How do i know if it was actually anconcussion or my anxiety.

Usually I’m able to help and reason with myself that it’s anxiety but the fact that this is how i got one before is killing me. And if it is one, i can’t do this again. I want to be normal and live a normal life. Help.
