100g is nothing.
I've been ko'd several times. Falling on my head while climbing in a door frame upside down aged 8 or 9, launching myself off a front braking bike down some concrete steps aged 10 or 11, running head first into a lower than expected concrete bridge aged 19. At least twice in fights I lost. Maybe one time in a car crash (there's a little bit of missing time, not sure if I was out or just in shock). I can't count the number of times I've been staggered and seen stars but not lost consciousness.

It probably explains everything.

Oh my word. Concussion?
Did you go to hospital?

For some of them, yeah.
Unfortunately the symptoms include shame and bravado. If I knew then what I know now I'd have marched myself straight to casualty rather than to the bar.

I don't think I've ever been knocked out,
Just been dizzy from a fall and nearly fainted. The most outlandish thing thats happened to me is that I went psychotic in a psych ward. Totally lost my mind. It was freakishly terrifying and liberating at the same time. I think your diagnosis of me was quite close. How did you know? Are you a psychiatrist?

If you're dizzy or see spots/stars after an impact, that's probably a concussion.
I am a fully qualified armchair psychiatrist.
