Anyone know about post traumatic stress??

mr me · 09-24-2007, 01:32 AM

Im just here after a long time tryin to get over my ex. Im starting to see i get really bad headaches whenever i think about her. Its beyond painful. I cant even think about it but its hard because sometimes things just make her pop up into my head. I know when u break up with someone sometimes u get headaches but these are too painful to deal with. Its really like migraines because any light just makes it so much worse. I also read how it could be tension headaches as well.

Im tryin to not be my own doctor but i really feel like something is wrong. Im tryin to go to either a psychiatrist or a doctor to find out. All i have read about is how they might put u on meds to help u deal with the pain. I was wondering if anyone knew any other treatments. I would explain what i went thru but its too painful to remember so u have to bear with me. Im also kinda sick with i think either a sinus infection again or allergies. Its really been a crazy fight thru all of this. I guess i didnt know who else to ask so just wanted to put it out there.

well, don't be afraid to go see a doctor thinking that they'll be pushing pills on u. doctor are trained not to immediately resort to medication. they will try to see if there are ways that u can get better without putting u on a pill first.

besides, i doubt u have Post traumatic stress disorder. i think u might have an adjustment disorder due to the break up. in any case, the doc will try to set u up for a cognitive therapy or something. sometimes the therapies work best in combination with pills. and it's not like you have to be on the pills for the rest of your life. once u get well, u can be weaned off of your meds by the doctor.

so don't be afraid to go see a doctor. and the more honest u are with them, the better they can help u.

Go get a physical exam to rule out other causes first.
