On October 29th I hit my head in a longboard accident and passed out. The doctor said it was a severe concussion but the CT said there wasn't any swelling or anything.
After the concussion I had very bad insomnia for 3 weeks, I couldn't concentrate easily and couldn't read for extended periods of time without getting a headache. But I have been noticing improvement.
I was an old friends house yesterday and one of them playfully bumped the back of my head. He didn't know about my accident. And I started feeling a slight headache. I have a slight headache but i know that im dehydrated. I'm freaking out because I just transferred to a top 20 school and I keep thinking of how my life will become the worst day of my life extended by a few brief naps but maybe my headache is bc of anxiety. SOMEONE SNAP ME OUT OF IT.

Relax. It's going to all feels worse unless you relax. That's what I learned. Stress and anxiety to blow up our symptoms and make them worse then what they are. Take a break, chill, do something relaxing. Also, drink some water and take a tylenol.

Definitely relax, it could just be a headache, in all reality they did bump your head. The more you think and stress about it the worse you'll feel, anxiety is a monster and makes everything escalate.

Hope you feel better!

I've bumped my head several times since my initial injury without it making my condition any worse. While my recovery from the first injury has been extremely slow, I never flared up after hitting my head those few times.

Take it easy, accept things as they are, and take things as they come. You have a choice to accept your current situation or not to accept it. If you don't accept it, you'll feel miserable regardless of whether you have actually injured yourself.
