Delayed Tension

I'm pretty sure it was a delayed stress reaction.
I mean, I was exhausted last night when I finally went to bed.
And who knows why exactly, but I woke up early this morning with a pounding headache.
The type that is just agony really. 

Which, considering I had gone to bed at a reasonable time and slept restfully until that point...
I couldn't comprehend why I got this headache that felt like a nail was getting hammered into my head. 

*exhales*
I can only guess it was stress.
Stress from work, stress from almost not being able to buy the fish I wanted, stress from not being able to write what I wanted because the internet was down before I had work and I was mentally dead after work...

And unlike the normal stress headaches where I take some meds, get some sleep and have a heat pack on my sore shoulders....
This headache refused to leave.

Nothing I did would help it.
Not sleep, not a hot shower, not Advil or Excedrin, massage stones, heat rocks, drinking water, eating something, having caffeine. Nothing. 

It was horrible. 
It wasn't going away.

It only went away after I took some prescription medicine for headaches.
-Medicine I try to avoid taking because I always feel...off after taking it. Tired. Meh. Just...not energetic.

But it thankfully did the trick.
Finally relaxing my muscles and forcing the headache to go away. 

So glad that I'm free again from the headache....for now.
