Hello everyone,

I am sorry it has been a little while since my last post. Things have been good and bad with my family, my husband and I are not getting a divorce but we are split from each other right now. My husband and I are working things out which I think is good but right now in our time apart. The only thing for me is that yesterday and today I have had back to back acctacks and headaches. I have been having the warped thoughts of the heart and head. Went to the Dr and he said my heart was healthy and I should not worry, its not easy tho. I wish my husband was home with us I feel I would not be having a bad time if he was here to hold me.

I am sorry for going on so am just lonely and down and cring to night

Do you have a therapist or support group to turn to? It sounds like you need some support for yourself and your own health in order to help you get through your situation with your husband. We all need others in our lives to turn to for support. It can be a heavy burden to put all that on a single loved one. I'm surprised your doctor didn't offer you anything to ease your anxiety or headaches. Do you have any favorite relaxation techniques, such as taking a hot bath, exercising, etc.? Building a repertoire of tension-releasing activities will also provide you with some support even if you do not having any other person to turn to. Do you have/want pets? They can be a great tension-reducer as well, even just petting them or when they do goofy things to make you laugh.

Hello Alaskah,
I do have a counselor that I go see once a month, am not due to see her till next week. I love pets but can not have one with my 5 yr old I am worried he may hurt it and not realize he has. I have friends that I talk to when I am having a bad time, my Dr says that I do not need anything for anxiety and that my headaches are nothing to worry about. I lay down and try to rest when I feel headaches coming on, sometimes i do not get any with my 3 kids lol. I like warm showers they help me as will.

Hi Skys!

Welcom back:) Well it is good news that you and your husband are making an effort to work things out. I am impressed with your commitment. It seems that is more and more rare that couples even try...so you guys should feel proud!

It is hard to be separated, but this may be an oppurtunity for you both to grow, and come back to the relationship with more to offer eachother. Hang in there and work on the things that you can. You are strong and can do it!

Come here and talk with us anytime. We are here for you! Remember to do your breathing and progressive muscle relaxation exercises everyday...they will help with your headaches:)

Big hugs, and post whenever you need to,
S.C.

Hey there, good to see you posting. I am glad to hear you and your husband are working on your marriage. It takes a lot of hard work and is also very emotional to be in your position so know that some of the anxiety just goes with the territory. Remember to be good to yourself and no belittling yourself.

I have found relaxing with a cup of chamomile tea helps my tension headaches. It's not an instaneous relief, but it helps if you to sit down and relax.

Try to eliminate stress (who am I kidding you can't eliminate it completely, but try to find some time for yourself).

From one headache sufferer to another, I wish you all the best in trying to get rid of your headaches. Best of luck smile


Kindly,
Kitt
