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
