People can and do die from a head injury from a fall. Urgent you get medical examination. Don’t wait.

Can confirm some asshole gave me a grams worth of a dab for my first dab, and I blacked out while standing up. Hit my head on the concrete. Luckily my ex's dad was a paramedic, and took care of me all night to make sure I wasn't going to die. When I was coherent enough, he ripped me a new one, and told me that if I ever have something like that again, go to the hospital because it might seem minor when in fact it could very well kill me.

I called the emergency doctor and I was told that if I was in any danger of dying from this event I would not now be able to have a coherent conversation.

My injuries feel too minor to be that serious, but I suppose you're right. I'd better call the doctor after all.

You are not a good judge of “minor.” The general malaise could be a sign of concussion. A stroke could be triggered. I hope you are okay, and that you get counseling for those “issues” you wanted to forget about. The brain does not have an erase button, you can only hide things for a while, and they come back, perhaps in disguise. You can add choice to your responses, but you must be conscious to do that.

I have counselling for other issues, and I've discussed this matter there too. At this point it seems like the only way to resolve the issue is to talk it over with the person who is inadvertently hurting me (who I am also inadvertently hurting). But to discuss this over Christmas and New Year's is really not the right time. We've agreed to postpone talking until the new year. Coming to this agreement helps, and it brings me relief that there won't be additional pain for a while.
