Default Freaking out right now and really upset at myself

I know I said I wouldn't post again until I was better but I just had the worst experience and then read that Mark gave himself a concussion doing something similar.

I'm currently 4 weeks on from that latest knock that screwed me up.

I've been doing really well lately as the first week was really tough but just now, I went to hop in my spa and I kinda slipped and my foot landed awkward.

Basically, in my spa, there is this area in the middle that is slightly deeper and so there is an edge around it.

When I slipped, my lead foot (foot entering first) landed half on the edge (my heel) and my toes in the deep part.

Because of that, I was expecting to land in the deep part and braced for it but my heel contacted the edge and I wasn't prepared and didn't really bend my knees and all the shock went into my head.

I've now got an extremely tight neck, dizziness, nausea and am extremely stressed and anxious that I have given myself another concussion.

I've read that stepping down hard without bending knees can send all the shock to your head so now I'm scared.

I was reading this (Stepped off a curb)

And Mark said he gave himself one doing something similar.

I've had flair ups before that I know are anxiety and am getting better at managing it and not letting it get to me which is why I havnt posted in last month been working really hard on my anxiety and stress.

But this one literally set me off so bad. Instant headache, massive tightness all through neck and dizziness
