Stress Manifesting Itself Again?
Sometimes I think my body just says enough is enough! My resistance wears down, my threshold for withstanding triggers lowers and I just kind of briefly fall apart. I’ve had a cold for about a week now, and it’s just like one I had about 6-8 weeks ago. On top of the headaches I had last week, I had one again today. I really think this one is due to the combo of head cold/sinus pressure plus tension in my neck, shoulders and upper back from stress. I’m doing what I can to manage, really I am. I’m aware of what I’m stressing about and trying to take care of it, keep it in perspective, let it go, etc. But boy oh boy could I just use a complete escape. I’m glad I haven’t ever let myself go down the path of prescription painkillers. I know how dangerous that could be, and the thought of escaping into the numbness is so appealing. I think because I know that I just haven’t let myself even consider it.
This will pass, and I’ll feel better soon. I always do.
