Making myself sick?!
Question:
Making myself sick?
I'm having alot of issues at work right now, and with other things going on in my personal life, my stress level is huge ( Some of it is great stress, and I'm very happy). Last week I started noticeing more and more headaches and definately some emotional breakdowns. This week I've had migraines twice and severe headaches in between. I went to the doc and got imitrex and it does help but I think I'm making these headaches, and I don't know how to stop. I'm starting to miss work more and more too. I don't want this to become an issue, but right now I'm sick most all the time. After my migraine went away last night I went to the store and almost passed out. I just don't know whats wrong with my body. Input?
Answers:
Your problem ISN'T just the migraines.
YOUR REAL PROBLEM IS STRESS. Get Xanax or something for the STRESS or none of your other underlying STRESS PROBLEMS will ever go away! As long as you have tremendous stress (and what that is, is different to everyone) then you will ALWAYS have health issues, period. Life just sux that way, stress equals wear and tear on the body and that equals poor health, both mentally and physically.
If he won't give you Xanax or something similar then ask for anti-depressants, etc., anything to relieve the stress. I have a feeling you over-talked the migraines and not the CAUSE of them when you talked to him last. Don't be embarrassed by stress, its just a fact and he CAN help you with it!
