Haven't been on the forum for maybe a year or so.
For the first time in three years, my tms abated. About 4 months ago I started getting minor anxiety attacks, and felt some anxiety throughout the day. Anyway, I noticed that the chronic daily headaches I was used to seemed to be non-existent, as I didn't really need them once I started feeling the anxiety. Anxiety went away a few months ago and headaches stayed gone. I KNEW it had nothing to do with my diagnosed high cerebral spinal pressure!
Anyway, I went through something very stressful over this past weekend, and the headaches came back. The external stressor is no longer there but the headaches have stayed. Part of me is worried that I won't be able to get rid of them (since I didn't have much control over how they abated the first time) and part of me is optimistic to find a more proactive way of approaching this.
I remember reading many wonderful responses over the years to people who experienced their first relapse, but since I didn't really relate at the time, I didn't internalize them. Any insight for how to deal with this, especially given that the first time they went away seemed somewhat flukish, would be much appreciated. Any self talk or phrases that you can repeat thoughout the day that any of you have found helpful would also be appreciated.
Thanks,
Alan
