What a mess!

I am in absolute panic because I have a headache. I'm so frightened that it's the end, that I will die and I'm becoming lightheaded and nauseous because of it. It's absolutely horrible and I so desperately want to be 'normal' and not think I'm going to die as soon as I feel slight discomfort. I'm so weak. I should have gone to the doctors this week but I've been moving house, finishing off uni projects and haven't found the time, mainly because I say I will register with a doctors but in the daytime I feel fine and decide it's not as important as other tasks that need to be done. I just want to live and not be this silly mess. :(
I also want to add a big thank you to everyone who's been helping e on here it means so very much x

): Hope you feel better soon. Have you tried some of the breathing & coping tips from the board here. Many folks have said they help. Maybe something relaxing like a warm bath or some hot tea.

Hugs,
Dee

I am sorry to hear this. You are NOT alone. I rarely get a headache & when I do, I am sure I have a rare & fatal condition): It's very difficult to cope with.


I allow myself 20 minutes to dwell on it, then get busy. Either I will do something physical such as taking a walk or I will find another way to distract myself. Usually, making a shopping list or balancing my checkbook. This forces you to use another area of your brain. Like Dee suggested, learning relaxation techniques is the best.


As for not making an appointment because of being busy, I know what you mean. However, there was a point when I was so sick & tired of being sick & tried, I made the appointment. I hope you reach that point soon where you seek *real life* treatment. You will be forever thankful that you did! Good luck! Keep in touch! (((hugs))) jan

It's good to laugh at yourself I swear that's the best medicine. I have been really good today until about 45mins ago which is 4am here, I had to stay up so late due to finishing coursework and I have a headache again, I'm sure just to do with the late night but it puts me in to a strange state which I can't escape from. I am calling the doctors tomorrow and making that appointment so I will let you all know what happens. Hopefully talk some sense in me and give me something to calm down. Thank you for your message x

Dear Beaneath,


Though the war be not over, I am indeed winning skirmish after skirmish; battle after battle - for "if God b e with me, who can stand against me ?" certainly not these hells they call anxiety, depression, panic, and phobia. I mock them - paradoxical in

Hi there pop!
Thank you for that lovely message, it has made me feel a whole lot better from you reassurance and reality check, these irrational thoughts of mine need to be kept under control. I will be trying the Doctors today but think I need some counselling in order to try and work out why I am being so irrational rather than meds. But who knows what they'll say at least like you said settle a few worries that I may be dying.

Thank you very much and take care x
