I slept again for a few hours this afternoon, again with a headache and had to take another Aleve.

This may worry me:

At first I was napping a lot because of my depression. I was very fatigued and sad but I knew in my heart that the driving force was the depression making me nap.

When I started forcing myself to stay out of bed, the fatigue grew very strong. At some points bad enough that if I tried to go out as an alternative I became I would fall asleep while driving and so would return home. It felt as if the depression was "foiling" my attempt to stay out of bed by causing an extreme wave of sleepiness.

Now as I fight this more all of a sudden I've got headaches interfering with my lack of sleep. They could be headaches caused by stress or meds but I'm wondering if my body is just now saying "so you are going to fight the sleepiness so now I'm going to drive you to bed with pain! Take that!"

I took an Aleve and slept some more, the pain reduced but I still have a little bit of a headache.

Want to say again that these are not crippling headaches, not like a migrane or cluster headache or even one of those severe ones where light hurts your eyes (I have had those). This is relatively mild, mostly just annoying but then grows enough to effect my concentration and drive me back to bed.
