keeponmovin, this sounds to me like a typical minor setback, whether the cause was anxiety or the slight impact or both. I would not worry about it. Search a bit through past posts and you will find many similar incidents that resolved uneventfully. In two weeks you will forget this even happened.

Mark, we are all enormously indebted to you for what you have done for this forum, but I believe you are over-hasty in this case. Like you, I am all for giving no quarter to anxiety when it rears its head. Rumination is the way to the abyss. But it is no help to those finding themselves in such situations for the first time to say that they're not worth your time and should be filed away in the casebook of the APA.

I think attributing the recent rise in such posts to the movie "Concussion" is a wild leap. Wouldn't a more plausible hypothesis be that, as you would surely hardly deny, minor bumps can cause some transient symptoms, which anxiety can then magnify and prolong even when the original physical mechanisms are no longer in play?

Of course I will grant that media attention has probably had at least a small role as well. This is all sheer speculation, however.

I am sure I'm not alone in hoping that you will not forsake the forum altogether. It has not been the same in your absence.
