Default Concussion and Anxiety

I got diagnosed with a concussion about 3 months ago. I went from being a social, happy, funny to quiet, anti-social, and always sad. I went through depression, anxiety and panic attacks thinking that I will never be my old self. I am slowly getting better but I still have constant anxiety that was never there before. I use to never get anxiety like this, its an all day struggle trying to convince myself not to worry about so many things. My whole thought process has changed, I feel like I can only keep thinking about little things wrong with me and think about how I am feeling in my head,body, etc. I can't just enjoy my surroundings and interact socially like I use too because I am constantly thinking "inside my head" I guess you could say.Recently, its been back and fourth between good days and bad days with anxiety. I feel like all this anxiety is just in my head because if I don't think about it I usually feel fine. I am wondering if all this anxiety is from the concussion? Or did my concussion just spark this changing in my thought process? Also if anyone is experiencing this or has gone through it let me know what you did?
