Unhappy Spiraling fast, someone please help

Hi all,

I've posted here before, dealing with two concussions that left me bedridden for months, and lingering PCS.

I have anxiety and OCD that I know must exacerbate my symptoms

Two nights ago I was sitting next to a friend and kind of fell over and my head hit his. Immediately I kind of panicked, but talked myself down. I woke up yesterday morning with blurry vision, feeling very foggy, forgetting things I said, headaches, etc.

I'm really struggling to know what is real and what is anxiety. I'm scared to continue on with life in case it WAS really a concussion, which in that case, I would clearly need to take it easy.

1.) Is it possible that something like bumping heads with someone next to you would give you a concussion? I feel like before this happened, I wouldn't have given it a second thought, but the symptoms feel so real.

2.) How do you tell the difference between anxiety and a real concussion? It's KILLING ME and I can't stop crying.

Please help. Thank you.
