I've been having horrible headaches over the past few weeks, which is part of the reason why I haven't been on the site as much. Sitting in front of a laptop really doesn't help
Of course, I know this isn't a place to ask for actual medical advice, but as most people get headaches now and then, I was just wondering if you had any non-medical tricks that work for you? For example, when my mum gets headaches, she finds it helps to stretch her neck muscles, but it doesn't seem to help me!
My fiancé has been really lovely, he always seems to know when I've got a headache and he sends me off to lie down while he plays with the girls, but that's really not ideal as I have things to do.
I think it's partly stress, I had an appointment with a social worker yesterday, which is something I struggle with as I always feel judged (and some of them really are judgemental).
Then today, my fiancé, my mum and someone I speak to online all upset me. I won't go into details here, maybe on another thread, though I probably need to go to bed really. But anyway, that made me stressed and tearful, though I sorted things out with my fiancé and my mum. Then I cried over something happy too. Crying often gives me a headache, though not usually this bad.
But anyway, any ideas would be gratefully received!
