numbness and tingling in top and back of head

I have been undergoing a lot of stress and sometimes lack of sleep I have a big problem in life for which I am not able to find a solution. I was literally very down for 203 days and then later, I slowly tried explaining myself that time will provide me a solution if I am not able to find one. So, I started being better than those 3 days, going to work, eating normally, watching movies but suddenly, every day, I feel very low for a while doubting whether I will find a solution even after taking time. So, though I try to be normal, I actually fell very low thinking of it and secondly, I have it running in subconscious mind all the time. Its nearly 15 days this mental stress started. And today I am in my office, working in night shift in a computer technical support (via phone), and suddenly started feeling numb& tickling on the top right back of my head. Its not painful but its kind of tingling and some numbness added to it. Its like a magnetic field. Is it anything serious?

Hello

I have suffered from this for years and I am having this right now while Im responding to this thread. I am now 46yo male

Started off when I was at school getting bullied for several years and under extreme stress at home as well. As a result it affected the way I bonded with other people as an adult. Over the years I suffered from depression on and off throughout my adult life. This also affected my moods and not wanting to go out and socialise with others at times.

I got married 18 years ago and found my soul mate however her family were always a little strange with me and after a short time shut me out, playing mind games, cryptics etc. This went on for a number of years until all of a sudden they started to treat me nice to my face. I still knew things were being said behind my back though. The wife stood by my but seemed to change after going through IVF like she had given up emotionally. As a result the wife lost the bond with me and the family pulled her back in not wanting me to be her husband. I was always truthfull, always faithful (even though we never had sex for 11 yrs), lived my life for her, was never violent etc. My only flaw was that I was a little moody at times and got upset easy but never shouted. In Jan/2013 the wife finally left me back to her family saying she had enough and had fallen out of love with me yet she changed emotionally for almost 2 yrs before she left. The emotional mind games got me to a state of extreme anxiety on a daily basis plus I had problems resulting from my childhood to still deal with.

I am on antidepresents and seeing councellors however I am not crazy and never have been even though the family have accused me of being including "Go Kill Yourself" comments during the breakup. I ended up at A&E than night during the breakup because I had lost my wife and my soul mate but I was ignoring what was going on and was refusing to see it for years. I knew it was happening but was convincing myself it wasnt happening.

In the last 8 months I have been getting councelling and feel a lot better emotionally. I have also come to terms with the split up but find it massively hard to deal with the loss of my wife still however I cannot go back into that situation again with her and her family (18 years of this is enough). Not every man is the same so please dont label all men the same. Some of us do care and show it just like I did everyday I was with her.

My main problem was I would issolate myself from everybody when I was feeling down or depressed or anxious because I didnt want it to affect others or have them stare at me either.

I still suffer from anxiety a lot and have been using breathing tequniques etc which do help and trying to put myself in a positive place when I feel negative which is often.

I am sure others have been in the same situation so for those of you who have been, youre not alone. I have lost everything, wife, home, business, most of my posessions and thats only 8 months ago yet Im still being positive and starting again going to relaunch my business on my own so dont give up.

I hate the feelin in the back of my head though, the numbness is quite bad when I get anxious kinda like a migrane but in the back of your head and neck. I also get extremely irritable when this happens too which is part of anxiety.

Just to say youre not alone so dont thing you are.
