Hi everyone,

So I have OCD and have been having intense anxiety and stress for about a year now. I’ve had a large number of themes ranging from OCD about sleep (not sleeping more than 2 hours a day for 3 months), to  Existential OCD, Philosophical OCD, Health OCD, and more. 

I have had so much anxiety for so long that I feel like a totally different person and can’t remember what it was like to not have OCD and anxiety.

I am beginning to think that I may have brain damage because I never feel ok, I worry a ton about everything, I worry about if I am ok and if I will ever return to normal etc.
Because of this I wonder if I have brain damage from a fall I took two years ago. I was very drunk and don’t remember much but I do remember falling sideways and hitting the side of my head. I went on as normal and nothing ever seemed off or different. Not until now, I got and MRI and it came clean. But I’ve heard TBIs don’t show up on MRIs. Does anyone know if brain damage can appear years later? Can brain fog, anxiety make me feel off this way? I just can’t tell what’s going on. I don’t know how severe brain damage symptoms are and what is anxiety and what is not. I hope this doesn’t come off as disrespectful, I’m just confused and scared. 

Any support would be great than you :)
