See psychologist: You answers the question when you described this irrational fear as a burden. The basis of wanting to protect against head injury is laudable at face. Wearing a helmet in sports, bicycle, motorcycle etc is not only reasonable but recommended; however, you sound overwhelmed by fear. This should be addressed with a psychologist or medical social worker to discover why the obsession and fix it now
