Hi,
I've never posted on anything like this before but am feeling pretty desperate at the moment and could do with some support /advice. I suffer from chronic headaches and have done for over 15 years. I am on amitiptyline, citalopram and diclofenac, all of which I've been on for several years. I think my headaches are depression/anxiety related. Over the past year my job has changed and I've been finding it very difficult to cope. I've also been having relationship difficulties with my girlfriend and I think we are probably going to split up. I have been off sick for 2 weeks and my headaches will not go away. I can't sleep and this makes it worse. The headache has been really bad now for about 2 months and is showing no signs of lessening. I find it extremely difficult to function at the moment. The headaches make me feel exhausted.I am really anxious I will loose my job and not be able to pay our mortgage, loose my house and my girlfriend. I know I am catasprophising and full of negative thoughts but I don't seem to be able to manage them. Any advice/comments would be really appreciated. Neil
