Doing great and improving until...

[TrippyMcGuire762]

I've been doing great for the past few days. Best friend came back recently and we've been up to our old shenanigans. I even got back and started driving again after four months of not driving. However today, I am doing pretty poorly. I feel sluggish and drained. I feel my mind is blanking out a bit. I'm back to being scared that I have a tumor. Doesn't help that I've had a headache that has lasted like a month and a half, with no painkillers doing anything and the doctors thinking I'm fine and I don't need an MRI. Is it because I'm lacking sleep that would do it. Maybe the zoloft I'm on (75mg). I'm just scared I'm dying here.

Sorry you feel so down after such a good time. The headache could be caused by tension from your anxiety, you need to relax, I know that's easy to say, it took me ages to manage it. I found a relaxation tape on line and kept listening to it as many times as I could and eventually it worked. Same with sleeping, I take pills but again I found a tape online and eventually that helped too. It's not perfect I still wake up at 4.30 some mornings but at least I get a reasonable amount of sleep. I hope that you feel better soon, ask your doctor to refer you to someone you can spend time talking to, or go online to someone like the Samaritans, they are there to listen, maybe talking through your worries with someone independent would help. Hope you get back to driving again, sounds like you had fun. Regards.
