Could it be caused by meds? This has been happening since Trileptal. I appear calm from the outside for the most part. Counselor said I look like I smoked a joint! Probably just compared to two weeks earlier when I was tight as a spring. I am calm physically and emotionally, but my brain just keeps going, going. As if the solution to all my problems is just beyond my grasp and I am compelled to keep reaching for it. Finally I am in physical pain. Is that even possible? To think yourself into a headache! Relate?

I just started trileptal too and I've had a headache for a few days I think it's totally possible to think yourself into a headache! I totally relate to that.

No idea about the meds.

But I definitely talk/think myself into headaches. I also give myself headaches from refusing to cry.

I think those are the worst kind of headaches.

I relate. I try to type it out though, to get it out. I don't get headaches... my thinking tends to trigger my anxiety though
