Hi

I am a 23 year old male. I'm new to this so I did not know where to post.

Over the last 2 years I have suffered from terrible tension headaches. They tend to be more present in the winter time because I spend more time around the computer and I have terrible posture. However i had a tension headache episode about 4 weeks ago and usually exercise tends to help, but this time it did not.

I have been constantly fatigued for 4 weeks now. Exercise makes me feel lightheaded and Im sore for days following a simple 15 minute light run. It has started to effect my mind. Im beginning to think Im going crazy because of it. My vision seems foggy and I haven't felt normal a single day. there has been a constant pain in my left thigh and lower side of my back and butt cheek (on the right side) for about 2 weeks as well

I have had some trouble falling asleep. Usually once or twice a week. The bigger problem is Im waking up extremely early every morning. hours before I need to get up.

Its making me extremely irritated. What could it be? is it a phycisal diorder effecting my mind? or is it opposite?

Its making me depressed. I wanna wake up, love to see the sun. Just live life and be happy and energetic but I feel like im going crazy

:'(
As an additional detail

im constntly catching myself in a blank stare

even in a car driving I have to focus constantly, everything seems so foggy


im extremely tired when out in public

I stumbled across your message because I also have many of your symptoms, especially the headache and blank stare aspect. I can drive for hours in a complete blank stare ... yes, I remain very aware of my surroundings, but I just don't blink! I most often will wake up with a low grade headache that lasts for hours and does not go away unless I pop a few aspirins. I also endure low grade fatigue and irritability and am uncomfortable around others to the point that I no longer much desire to socialize because I have that blank stare / stone face / fatigue thing going on. Sooo, when I'm out, I must always be aware of forcing myself to smile and blink! I also can't tolerate intense sunny conditions or bright indoor lighting otherwise it brings on the headaches. Oh, and I also have very poor tolerance to alcohol and cold weather! My adrenal glands had been damaged by a previously long endured illness and although I've recovered from that particular illness, I'm sure my adrenals remain functioning at a subpar level and likely account for most or all of my symptoms.

I hope you receive this message and that you're now doing better!
