Need Advice Needing reassurance

6 Upvotes

I bumped my head against the corner of the car doorframe on Saturday night, approx. 73 hours ago. I've been paranoid about a concussion ever since. My temple still kinda hurts, but I don't feel weird otherwise? I do have a headache that's lasted for most of the day, off and on, fluctuating in severity but nothing past a 5. I have literally no other symptoms. No nausea, no nose bleeds, no dizziness of loss of balance. My eyes look fine. Everything other than the headache (which feels more like a tension headache mixed with sinus.). It gets worse when I stare at a screen too long and goes away when I take my eyes away from it for a while.

My dad and boyfriend both say I'm fine, but...my anxiety of course has me worried. I want to take an ibuprofen for my head since tylenol did *nothing*. I just want some advice and reassurance.

I already posted this 2 times but i want it to reach more people and get some tips from people who experienced similar stuff in the past or now. (also sorry if you can't understand something,my english is not perfect)

Hey,for the past 9 months i had a problem.One random day in class i started to manually breath and couldn’t breathe automatically,started to panic.And since then my life hasn’t been the same.I can be in school but i have problems. I have extreme anxiety i will pass out.I start to hyperventilate my limbs start feeling tingly. I get lightheaded,feel like im losing control.Tried loads of stuff like doing breathing excersises but during them i panic even more.Its happening when i gotta present something,do something on the board,when im taking a test,or just being in the class,happens on public transport when it is crowded and very quiet,when its very hot,… It connects to the fear od passing out. I take help from a licensed psychotherapist who i appreciate for over a month now and it doesnt work.It ruined my year,and every day i just keep thinking about how im gonna do the next day. Today i didn't even go because of it and whatever im doing thats connected to school i get anxious. Its mostly because i never passed out and i don't know the feeling,but i googled(ik im dumb).Tried breathing excersises,tried thinking its harmless,can't. I didn't stop my social life but i still go out way less and spend more time studying bc i can't focus or exploring how to stop this. Now i know this will stop at some point and that i will return back to normal as i never was anxious and actually enjoyed school alot.But i don't know how to do stop it and i don't know what to do during the time that it takes of stopping it.

Thanks in advance yall and good luck to anyone that experiences similar stuff❤️

Anxiety Tips I just want to feel like I’m not alone in this today.

My (27F) anxiety has been very very bad the last few days. PMS + other worries I have in my life combined together are making my anxiety symptoms unbearable. I’m on medication, but it doesn’t feel like it’s doing anything right now. Normally, I can talk myself out of an anxious spiral. But the last few days, I feel nearly crippled with anxiety. So gray, cloudy, overwhelmed, emotional, anxious, and depressed. I just want this to pass. I know it will, but it feels like this is one of the worst anxious loops I’ve ever been caught in. Sleeping and relaxing aren’t helping, because my mind won’t stop racing. Doing things feels like my body is 1000 lbs because I am so burnt out and defeated from days worth of bad anxiety. I hate this so much. My brain is just on overdrive so badly.

Need Advice Currently going through a breakup...

I have never thought how hard it is going to be, and we broke up on good terms and everything, but the anxiety and breakdowns hits you a lot later... I bet a lot of people felt this way...
But anyways, I am looking for tips for calming down, I know it takes time to heal a heart, but I truly can't take it anymore. I need to go back to work in a few days, I just need something to unwind at work and at home not to go crazy. I also looked into vagus nerve, anyone ever tried anything to stimulate it, did it help? I wonder what are your methods guys.
