I’m starting to wonder if there is any link between stress and depression. I had three days of major stress – so it was not too surprising that I woke up yesterday with what I refer to as a double-whammy headache. The double whammy is when I get a tension headache (usually at the base of my skull – really bad pain) along with a migraine (sometimes pain, sometimes not – with icky feeling and or nausea and light sensitivity). However, yesterday and today I have also had feelings of self-pity and general depression. It also makes me feel lost and wondering what I should do to make myself feel better – oh, and wanting to eat. I try not to give in to that last part, but sometimes I fail.
I HATE FEELING LIKE THIS!
Oh well. It will pass. I just don’t have anyone to turn to. My husband wants to fix things but doesn’t know how and I don’t know what to tell him. I also don’t want him to feel badly for me. What I really want to do is crawl in a hole…or my bed. But sleep hasn’t been fixing the problem either. Nor has crocheting and watching movies.
My doctor prescribed an anti-depressant back in June, but it made me sick. I should learn meditation. I may have to look into that…
