To justify my choice a little, I felt the term “fucked with my head” was both a widespread enough idiom, and an accurate description of the subjective experience. I’ve never seen profanity remarked upon before, and didn’t imagine any objection to it.
The only aversion I would have with this instance of swearing is that it slightly weakens the impact of the expletive. It is too common. I want that word to retain its power, not be wasted on idiomatic usages.
