Admitting that i'm confused.
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hi there, from reading a good few posts i decided that you guys and ladies were the best people to ask for some help, this is my first visit here and i'm not at all good with discussing feelings so forgive me if this post sounds a bit crap! I recently came to a conclusion from reading certain material that i'm a little stuck, i suffer with chronic tension headaches (yet to be diagnosed by gp but will take all my findings to him on the next app.) A medicine to counter act these headaches is Amitripyline which is primarily used for mood disorders. Now yes i'm angry and very low but i am angry and very low because i am sick, i was not angry and very low before i was sick, you see, i have a problem with the issue me being given medication for my character and not for my over all condition. Yes i can see they might make my mood 'lighter' but what i actually want is for the pain to stop. I have a condition of chararcter where i cannot show emotions properly but i am in complete agony, i think people deem me as some kind of nutcase... anyway its going round and round in circles in my mind that i might be 'depressed' but i just don't think associating it to be the cause of my headaches is fair. Has anybody else been in a similar position and can i ask what you did or how you went about resolving the situation i.e Did you take the meds, as mentioned here or any others, and did it make a difference to your situation? Did you stop feeling so angry? Thanks, Nick.

Its all to often that we place a stigma on ourselves or worry about how society sees us we cant do anything about peoples ignorance in how they see us only educate.
the problem is breaking the negative habbits we form in our daily lives and those habbits are usually to be inwardly negative about ourselves. medication can only relieve our physical and some mental symptons but its yourself that needs to look at ways of helping yourself first in lifestyle and habbit.
It sounds to me that if there is a degree of anger there then I'm asking myself where is it coming from and why and sometimes you may not know yourself yet.
It might be an idea to look at congnative therapy which can help us to improve our way of thinking and behaviors.
I did a CBT course and it lead me to realise and awaken some aspects of my thinking and behavior I had never thought about befor.
I suffer from acute anxiety and I know I will never be able to cure myself but I can change the quality of my life and help to reduce to make it manageable to the point it even becomes un-noticable by others may be a thought for you?

I had very bad headaches(among other things) when I was on a certain medication so my doctor switched me to another which helped me mentally,physical and stopped the headaches.
All you can do Nick is try them. What have you got to lose? Give yourself a time limit and think " ok,I will give this a bash for however amount of weeks"!!! It could help,it may not but why deprive yourself the chance of knowing,the chance to rid yourself of these headaches! ??? Xxx
