Dr. Jan Lei Iwata answered

Specializes in Ophthalmology

Diagnosis aren't : made over the internet, and your condition warrants being seen by a doctor or PCP for further evaluation and treatment post-trauma to make sure you don't have brain injury or bleeding that can affect behavior. So don't delay seeking care. S/he can refer you to psychologist or psychiatrist if needed.
