Fighting as much as I can

[Islande_King]

For the past couple of days, I have been determined to flip the script. Instead of assuming the absolute worst about any weird things in my body, I choose to think the absolute best.

It has been going well honestly.

But tonight I got/have this awful headache. Which because I have a fear that I have a tumor or brain cancer (because of pain I get when I touch the front of my head), Is definitely not good 😭.

The scariest thing about this is, Just turned 18 (Taurus gang). I finally am at a place where I am comfortable in adressing the lack of self confidence which contributed to my Anxiety. Ready to live out the things I've always wanted.

Truth is I'm terrified that could all be taken away from me. Cancer doesn't care if I have anxiety. The whole thing is terrifying.

Google is the devil. There are soooo many reasons why I could be having these headaches.

Do I eat properly? No.

Always looking at Electronics? Yes.

Sleep Scheduele? Don't know herrrrrr.

I set my doctor's appointment for June, so I guess I just have to keep fighting, hope this headache goes away and hope for the best.

Hi Islande King, it's not about fighting or hoping but it's about accepting.

You did so good in flipping the script but then Anxiety put that dreaded

thought in your mind and BAM it makes you go off the deep end.

Once you give in to those thoughts, your headache will continue.

It took me a long time to figure out my daily headaches and what was causing

them. But I never thought for a moment that it was catastrophic in nature.

When I finally realized these were tension headaches, I had a handle on the

situation. For myself, I would take an over the counter pain reliever, cup of

coffee and lie down in a cool dark room. That's when I started using Meditation

and Breathing. Imagery, Mindfulness and a form of Self Hypnosis reduced the

pain within an hour or so. Relax and Breathe xx

Just so afraid of being blinsided. But with the world as it is, I have no choice but to adapt.

Thanks for your advice, will give all these tips a try.

I understand Islande King as to what the world is going through right now.

You're right in that we have no choice but to adapt and follow the rules in your

country or state to keep yourself safe as can be. Using relaxation methods may

keep your mind more calm as well as your body's immunity high. xx
