Two days ago I was shaking my head up and down (I did it many times because I have OCD and have to do everything until it feels “right”), and now I’m convinced I’ve damaged my brain because I shook my head too much… I’m convinced I’ve got a brain bleed… My head doesn’t hurt, but I have brain fog and feel like I’m going to faint… Do you think I need to worry?

Not about a brain bleed. You need to worry about getting proper help for your OCD. It is treatable and you yourself can help yourself. It’s Only Anxiety by Carl James and Hope and Help For Your Nerves by Dr Claire Weekes. Both are excellent self help books based on Dr Weekes work on anxiety. She was also a sufferer of Anxiety. I’m using both books, it’s an acceptance method for treating anxiety disorders, including OCD. The method works if you put in the effort. I also have OCD, I know it works, I’m in recovery.

Having had a family member with a brain bleed, they are rarely subtle. I can also say as someone who boxed before health anxiety took over, you aren't as fragile as you think. The human body is kind of like the terminator of the mammal world, it can take stupendous punishment. I've seen young guys take hellacious beatings and be basically fine a couple of days afterwards.
