Title: in a bad place emotionally looking for support!
Post by anthony g on Jul 17^th, 2011 at 10:17am

Hey guy's I just needed some support. I am in a really dark place emotionally with trying to get to a place of "acceptance" with my condition hermicraina continua which is very similar to chronic cluster headaches. My condition started out with a cluster cycle back in dec 09 which the cluster cylce lasted for a few months and developed into hermicraina. :( I am recently back in nyc after being in florida for 15 months and came back to get my life back and its been really difficult finding a quality of life back here in nyc! I am back to work I am a hair salon owner and I am recently in a bad cycle of my headaches and I am isolating myself cause the depression and the sun is a trigger for me. Im sorry im babbling but just reaching out for support. Its so difficult coming to a point of acceptance when you are doing the # 1 line prevent indomethicin and still have headaches!

thanks for reading and pfw to all would be great to hear from u guy's
Anthony

Hang in there, Anthony. Is there a friend you could call and ask to come over and see you today? Or is there somewhere air conditioned you can go to walk around and get some mild exercise? Just casting around for something that might take your mind off things for awhile. ::)

I'm curious what you mean by "acceptance." Are you denying you have pain? Or the diagnosis? It doesn't seem so. If you're angry or depressed, perhaps its because you have a reason to be so. Having said that, are you avoiding whatever abortives and preventatives may be available? Or are you no longer searching for ways to effectively combat the pain? You could just curl up in a ball and wish to die but you seem to be working and maintaining. Please remember feelings do not have to dictate behavior. Behavior can and will change how you feel if the behavior is targeted and realistic to the circumstances. Start making lists of ways to combat the pain, and with the help of a friend, begin eliminating the useless ideas (like curling up into a ball and wishing to die) in favor of what remains. You can do this. It will help. Blessings. lance
