I have really tried not too dwell on this but for about a week I have been having these daily headaches, they start behind the eye as soon as I wake up and they spread too the temples and sides and back of my head. I had a cat-skan a few years ago because of this and they said everything looked good, and I got new eyeglasses in March, ever since I had that bug a week ago I have had these headaches, I think they are worse because I am thinking about them and focusing on them, I have watched a lot of holiday good movies and read a lot this week so I am hoping its eyestrain, the only thing that makes them go away and I mean the only thing is laying down, I cannot take tylenol everyday because its bad for the liver all the time, I may have to have another eye exam soon I may need stronger glasses, my eyes hurt a lot so I have tried to rest them this week, that helps some.
Why is this bothering me?? I have told myself "Deb its NOT a tumor or stroke or anything terrible, its just stress over eyestrain and you thinking about it" why is that not reassuring me? I know in order for CBT too work you have to believe it and thats where the trouble is starting I think. Why is this scaring me still? Sleep helps so much but I cannot sleep my life away, maybe I am using sleep too "escape" as my therapist says, I wish the symptoms would not worry me so much.
If anyone had headaches all the time would you let me know?? Did warm compresses on the eyes help? new glasses? I heard headaches are the number one reason people visit the Doctor and most of the time its stress and tension, which it probably is, I was just wondering if anyone else had this due to their panic depression and anxiety and how the dealt with it, thank you..........
