Life's changing, my best friend is moving with here husband, and it feels like my support network is falling. I'm doing my best but my mind has already done some weird things... like cause me to forget what I was doing, made it hard to drive... and all I want right now is some sort of pain. I"m scared, but happy. I just hope either I'll want to talk to someone tonight, or come on here.... by then I know i"ll need some encouragement to try and talk. I just have to trust that some of you on here, will be there. Hopefully with all of you around, I won't want to reach for physical pain. I hope

Hi there, I am here and I am listening. I know change is rough, but you will still be able to be in contact with your friend, right? We have to learn to embrace change, as difficult as that can be. Most of us get a sense of normalcy and we don't want it to change, but the only way we can get through life is to go through changes.

I understand the anxiety and such taking over and making it hard to concentrate, but I promise it will pass. I am sure you can meet some more friends to support you, and all the while you have all of us here who will be more than happy to lend an ear, errr a pair of eyes, and offer you support. Take care and I hope it gets better for you soon .

Well if I could just erase a day, that would be really nice. I last about a month being si free... but that all ended yesterday... my head still hurts, and I just don't know what to do.. it could be biological or "it's all in my head" sort of thing.

I really don't know what to do.. how do I tell when it's a headache vrs just when my mind is on overload and starts going back to my old set of maladaptive coping skills. Any ideas??

A month is a great accomplishment! Do you have headaches often?

Constant now for almost 3 weeks. Pain goes up and down through the day, which for most leads to some sort of Psych symptom. But yet the pain meds help.... so is it psychosomatic or is it physical?

I just don't know what it is or where to turn to. I'm hoping to get in with my pdoc soon... but so far his openings don't work for me...

Some of the other weird symptoms
~Dropping things without knowing that second
~Forgetting what I was just doing... can tell by music, I"ll just start playing something else or play the wrong ones. another example is writing
~Pain in the forehead region (especially on right side above the eye)
~and from my view it looks like my eyelids increase in speed so I see part of the view in little slits, and then they close....

I have no idea what's going on, all I know is it's getting on my nerves.... and it's interupting life.

Do you need to get it checked out by a doctor?

That's the thing... is this mental or is something really wrong that the doc would pick up on... I have an appointment with my pdoc on tuesday, (earliest date I could). But since the headache is still there I"m wondering what's going on and what I can do for relieve.
