The experts all say, with brain injuries, you treat the symptoms, not the impact. You need to separate your anxiety symptoms so you can recognize that you have no concussion symptoms.

Any concussion would give you a feeling of having your bell rung. Not just a bump. Not even a bruise or goose egg. Those are superficial. You would have a moment of neurological disturbance.

I suggest you not do any free weight or loose plate moves. Anxiety is a great motor control confuser. It can turn you into a klutz. When your anxiety is better controlled, you can return to activities that require good coordination. Slowly work your way from safer moves to those that require more control.
