I know there have been a ton of posts here about concussion anxiety. I’m hoping for some of you that have learned how to handle it or “best it” that you can share some words of advice on how to best not worry about new bumps or hits that may or not be a concussion. I think the unknown of it is scariest for me.

Thursday I was leaning forward to grab mail I had dropped in a recycling bin and bumped my forehead on this wooden mailbox structure that was in front of me. I’ve had awful symptoms since, especially because I was still only two months out from my most recent concussion and having bad symptoms already. How can i know if this would have been another concussion, especially if I was still having symptoms from the most recent one?

Has anyone ever done something like this before? Is it possible it was another concussion? And if you have done something similar, how do you handle new bumps?
