Stuff Going On

So, I have chronic headaches, and I have had them for a year. I have had several tests run on me, and the doctors found nothing.

Nothing makes my headaches go away, and my headaches are there 24/7. I can't live life like this. The only thing that allows my to ignore my headaches is cutting. And I know that's wrong.

I want to die. Don't say that's selfish. I don't want to live here in this world of pain.

Whats it Mean ?

  • Adevil4me, there are many people at your age suffering from headaches, migraines and others kind of related pain due to their hormonal process and some stress in their lives. You are not the only one.
  • You have to find out what is stressing you that can produce your headaches. Scheduling your activities and keeping a record of your daily actions can give you a pretty good idea of what is happening. If the doctor did not find health problems you are probably having some tension in your life, relax a little and look at what is happening to be able to control it before it makes you sick.
  • Hurting yourself does not represent the best solution to your problem. You must find a way to control the headaches in a different way and get your body under control. There is no relation between a typical headache and a relief from with, what that tells you is that you can control your pain without medicine and with less intrusive techniques. Do not use the headaches as an excuse to hurt yourself; you can do better than that.
  • Talk to a responsible adult about the situation, look for somebody that you trust and that could listen to your problems so you would feel relief to your tension. Finding a way to relax like taking walks, doing some exercise and finding an activity that can bring some reward to your life would give you something to be looking for to do every day.
  • Take advantage of the time you are in school to do some community work and help others that could be in your same situation and looking for some help. You will find soon that somebody needs you a lot and that would give you another perspective towards life.
  • There are many things to do and to give to your community, go ahead and start volunteering soon you will realize your headaches are gone for good.
