Another headache behind my right eye formed this afternoon.

Judging by the tension in my shoulder and neck it's probably due to some sort of stress....though I'm guessing it's more energy related stress than anything else as my coworkers were....well many of them weren't in the best of moods today due to various personal problems they're all having.
Which makes it hard to stay relaxed when you can feel the tension/stress/anger/pain of the others whenever you're near them.

I did what I could to stay away from them...but yah....
I also think that I ended up with a slight headache because I was getting bored at work.
Usually if I can keep working and keep myself distracted then it's easier to not feel like I'm walking around in circles doing nothing.

Unfortunately, it was a slow Saturday. Like it almost felt like a tuesday it was so slow and we had so many workers in the store today probably in preparation for after Christmas shoppers...but I guess like no one had enough money left to come into the store.

But yah. When I'm left with nothing to do because all the things have been done....it also tenses me out because I'm left thinking I could be doing something else like writing or sleeping or something besides just standing there trying to think of something to do.

*exhales*

Hopefully the headache will fade but so far meds and heat packs haven't seemed to be helping too much.

I ended up with a headache this morning that refuses to go away.
Which I'm not quite surprised by as I was expecting a more migrainey headache to happen.
Especially after the stress of the past couple of days.

Which was probably culminated by the day ending yesterday on a slightly...down note as roomie came home in a super bad mood and other people had bad days yesterday and it probably effected me a bit.

*exhales*
But yah. I tried my best to have meds and heat get rid of the migraine while I was at work, but it didn't help at all. Thankfully the ache behind my right eye isn't debilitating. It's probably a three or four on the pain scale. So annoying, but I was still able to function basically normally at work. 

Coming home I took a nap, ate some real food, and have more heat and meds.
Still isn't going away.
but at least it's not getting worse so there's that.

Debating about taking a shower currently to see if that helps.
But maybe if I take out my contacts and have an earlier night that will help as well.

We'll see. 

Considering how stressful yesterday was on me....it's weird that today was the day where I started getting a headache behind my eyes.

I think it was just like...a different sort of tension though. 
Like work stress in many ways I'm used to.
But add in something out of the ordinary into the mix.
And WHAM a headache tries to appear.

Though I was able to vanquish the beast early on with some Excedrin and rest. So HA.

But yah.
It was mostly triggered I think....because I saw an article online about a death at the university I went to. 
And like...curiosity had me clicking it.
Only to discover that the person who died....was one of my teachers. 
And they had...unfortunately, committed suicide over the summer. 

And like...it just struck a cord with me you know?
Like I knew this teacher.
Took multiple classes from them.

And had actually been talking about the teacher like...last month or so to a different person who also took classes from them.

Like...it's haunting to realize you were talking about someone who had passed on...and like you didn't know they had. 

But yah.
My brain went into 'what if' mode and started worrying and coming up with arguments on how this could have been prevented and like....

When I'm trying to help customers, trying to get opening tasks done, as well as plot out what I'm going to be writing in one of my stories....

All this mental internal tug of war....
Definitely can make the stress levels rise and the tension to increase in my neck and then I'm dealing with a headache.

Again, I caught it early thankfully. 

But note to self.
Try not to stress over things that I have no control over. 

Still. Y_Y What a sad ending to a great teacher. Y_Y 

I think I tensed myself out today.
As I've had a faint headache behind my eyes today.
And it occurred towards the end of church and has lasted for basically the whole evening.
So I'm guessing I was stressing during church.
Which I was in a way because I was trying to play Pokemon Go's community event, and I'm worrying about a package that was supposed to have been delivered but i haven't yet gotten word that it's delivered. Plus I'm worrying about what presents to get a few other people. 
Then someone asked me to give a prayer at the munch and mingle but I said no because my voice isn't that loud and that stressed me out.
Plus i probably haven't eaten enough food today or drunk enough water and who knows I may have slept for the wrong amount of time.
So yah.
A faint headache is to be expected.
I've tried tylenol and excedrin, a shower and heatpacks as well as eating and drinking more fluids...but yah. Still have the faint headache. 

Had a slight headache start up behind my left eye...which was probably caused by stress.
Mostly stress of talking with family.
Because I bring up things and then get responses that stress me out. 
*exhales* 

Thankfully distracting myself with other things made it a brief headache that didn't stick around longer. 

Ended up with a headache behind my left eye while at work today.
From stress really.

Because I was worrying about figuring out Christmas stuff with family.
But also because it was one of those Mondays where the day quickly got away from me.
Namely because we had three cat adoptions in a row and I was the only one in my department and each cat adoption can take up to thirty minutes to complete.
So after all was said and done I ended up being like two hours behind in opening.

Which always stresses me out when I'm trying to get the department opened and it was after lunchtime and I hadn't yet started the bedding change.

*exhales*

The headache, thankfully didn't get too intense. But it did hover for most of the afternoon which was rather annoying. 

Woke up with the same headache I went to bed with. Just laying there behind my right eye.
Been trying meds, a shower, and a heat pack for most of the day and it's helped a bit, though I do think that eating some actual food and just well...getting distracted from the headache probably helped me relax a bit so I wasn't tensing my muscles quite as much. 

I ended up with a headache towards the end of work behind my right eye.
Which is the normal indicator of a tension headache when it occurs there.
And I had enough reason to be dealing with tension as work itself was...stressful first thing in the morning.
First with unexpected text messages.
Then with the apparent word that there was issues with our animals in the store...
*exhales*

Plus like the 8 hours of customer service and trying to help my coworkers out and probably not getting enough oxygen into my lungs and probably not eating enough and probably not getting enough water....

So yah.
Tension.
So I'm just spending the evening trying to relax...which is hard to do when I'm trying to get Christmas ordered for everyone...so yah.
Yay stress. 

Had a slight headache briefly hit around dinner time as I haven't been getting enough sleep, been stressing myself out and probably not eating enough.

I was tired for most of the day and tried to relieve that by taking a nap, but the nap wasn't the right length as I woke up with a slight ache behind my eyes and tension in my neck.
That was aggravated by suddenly having a bunch of different people texting me all at once about Christmas related things and I was stressing over that apparently.

But with some heat, some tylenol and mountain dew and actually eating a more substantial meal besides brownies...I managed to get the headache to go away.

Surprisingly fast really.
I only had it for a couple of hours which is short compared to other headaches. 

Yah...the headache stuck with me throughout the night,
But some more heat and some meds in the morning helped it to fade enough that I was able to go to church. So yay for it going away so I could go pretend to be social after having a restless night.
