Headache for two months straight, stress/anxiety. please help!!!
Posted , 20 users are following.
The last three months of my life have been quite full on, dealing with my parents getting divorced and then dealing with two family members passing away all in 3 months.
I'm 21 years old, I'm very healthy I'm also fit, and have been suffering from anxiety for a few years. But I could control it and the anxiety never took over me. In the last 6 months I started to notice that the anxiety had started to take over and would interfere with my life. My thoughts were out of control, and I had constant thoughts about dying and health anxiety.
And within the last three months of these events happening my anxiety has completely taken over my life where I have been having panick attacks on a regular basis. Starting 9 weeks ago I started getting this pressure in my head, at first I never thought of it, but as the days and weeks went on it was never ending and made my anxiety much worse and made my symptoms in my head worse.
Long story short it's 9 weeks later and I'm still here with the exact same head ache I have had since day 1. Can be a pressure, a dull ache on top of my head, shooting pains in my scalp, crawling feelings in my scalp, tender scalp to touch and the list goes on and on. And I cannot describe in words how much anxiety and grief this has caused me when I'm already going through my own grieving process.
I've been to numerous amounts of doctors and they all say it's stress and anxiety related due to my circumstances. I am booked in for a CT scan on Tuesday to finally rule out if it is anything serious??
My anxiety and these headaches have taken over my life, and not to mention I'm in constant pain and the non stop obsessive worrying that I have something in my head that's not going to be bad news.
If anyone has anythig similar to this? Or has gone through something like this?? I would love some advice to what to do or what happens from now.
I'm scared to death for the ct scan but my doctor thinks it's necessary because of all this anxiety it's causing. Sorry I forgot to mention I'm not showing any signs like blurred vision, vomiting, or any neurological symptoms that could relate to something serious.
Thanks so much in advanced

It is an anxiety disorder and hedache is mostly because of it.
So your CT will be normal.
An SSRI will certainly help with initial clonazepam cover if you are opting for pharmacotherapy.Relaxation therapy is also very helpful and you can download them by searching "relaxation excercise".Mindfulness could be a long term solution if you are motivated for it.

This slither snake feels like air, so makes me think and feel like an air head LOL. Ya, I make fun of it but with it, I feel as if life was death and hopeless. I really dont want to live in this world cause I end up suffering in it anyways (been raped and assaultrd, robbed and I swear I thought and felt as if I had died). I have memory of my death and feel as if I am passing through learned experiences while I was alive. My body is intact yet my mind or "self" is separated from me. I feel in this passing of death that I am looking for the joy and fullness of life. I am waiting fir my resurrection to life. My 'self' feels as if I got emptied out and feeling as if I am just a vessel. All my good stuff gone, my vibrant cheerful feelings, my haughty confidence, my passion for life GONE. I feel naked as if my inner skin got peeled out of me, like something took it and butchered it. I'm looking to get my pieces back from somewhere, I dont know where my head piece is, but hoping that too will come back inside, then I am resurrected WHOLE again. I hate Orion and the stars and I hate Egypt.

Is it possible after the CT scan that this could calm down everything that I've been in fear of? And hopefully the headaches will go away?
I just REALLY need to get my old life back because i can't see myself taking this any much longer.

Just wait it out, this too shall pass. It may take time. You may need time for yourself because in this world is very busy, work is gime sensitive and puts pressures on individuals as it is "time is money" in business. Youdo not need to lbe the individual you are expected to be by others, just rerelax and start to try and be yourself naturally. Society expects alot, the expense to self is exhaustion to the whole of our being. You are exhausted and stressed from life expectations.

Seems like you've had a tough year and you need some answers.
losing loved ones is a feeling that can not be answered on here. It's something, that with time, you will accept. the grieving process is unique to everyone.
Your parents splitting is where my thoughts crosses to. Do you know why? Do you blame yourself? these are all assumptions, but not knowing can put a lot of worry into your mind.
You're young, and the chances of you having neurological problems are very slim. I wouldnt think/worry about that.
Get the questions you need answering, answered.
regards
Fellow worrier.

Thank you ~
