Yes I feel most people on site here feels a break would be nice away from the hassle and concerns we are suffering at this time. I was all booked for a Holiday before this virus so we had to cancel all the travel and board arrangements and that is where we are now still

Can you explain what is going on to make you feel the way you do, Have you talked to your Doctor regards how you feel ??

Darknlovely, sometimes we need to reach out to medications to get that respite

and allow our mind/body to regenerate. All medications have some type of ill

effects, it's a matter of trial and error. For your own sanity, please think about

trying something your doctor gives you for a short time. Enough time for you to

find other methods that will work in reducing your being overwhelmed.

It's important to your health and immune system. That "peace in your life" unfortunately may include drowsiness for a while. But your body needs that

rest. It can't continue to run in high gear. You will get better, know that.

Right now it's about treating the stress. I'm here for you. :) xx

You are seeing your GP on the 27/08/20

Generally these headaches will become less after about five weeks, give your medications time to work

If you are suffering Headaches, that can be caused by your Anxiety and Stress. I have been on my medication now for over ten years and will be on them for the rest of my Life. You also mention Physical Health Concerns, are you taking medications for these conditions ? Sometimes other medications contraindicate with what you are taking now, your GP may find the need to consider that as well.

If you are Stressed a course of CBT may help you approach your problems and learn how to control them.

Make a list what is going on, side effects and the dynamics of home and work
