For the past year and a half I've had a headache that does not go away even with assistance from Tylenol, Advil etc. It is not as painful as a migraine but it is consistent and bothersome. I wake up with it every day no matter what.

I feel as if I'm numb to the world around me. Life keeps happening around me and I'm sitting here unresponsive to anything that goes on, no matter how much I try to be interested in what's going on. It's a really bland feeling. It's like I'm just existing and not living. I don't find enjoyment in anything but I seem to be able to become agitated, annoyed or angry just fine.

Also, my perception of time is becoming askew. Days blend together and I find that it takes me significantly more time to complete any particular task than it ever did before. More often than not I waste time just simply not knowing what to do with myself.

Might anybody have any insight as to what's going on with me? I will try to edit this post with more info later when I'm not half asleep. Thanks!

Welcome to PC. I am sorry your post has gone unanswered.

You describe some pretty classic symptoms of depression. A head ache for a year and a half sounds serious but I have not heard it as a symptom of depression. You may want to get checked by a neurologist for that.

You may also want to be evaluated by a mental health clinic. Your second paragraph describe classic symptoms of depression.

I can't offer much help other than to say I get it. I call it Dead Heading. Life is going on around me and I'm just....there. You're not alone.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
