I got a tension headache today.
Actually I got it yesterday, but I took some drugs and they
wore off today.
And I think I gave it to myself by being stressed out.
Because tonight it felt better as soon as I got home.
And it started yesterday afternoon when I was worrying about
this birthday party I was going to. Basically, I was going because Taylor was
going and Taylor was going because Stephanie and Mary were going and they were
going because their boyfriends were going. I think their boyfriends are actually
friends with the guy who was having a birthday.
Anyway.
They were going to a bowling alley, and I’m a horrible
bowler and I hate feeling stupid in front of people I don’t know.
People I DO know, and am already comfortable with, that’s
another story. Not sure why…
So anyway, I was nervous about that when the headache came
on. And I knew it would be a late night and I knew it would be miserable to be
feeling stupid because I’m a bad bowler, awkward because I don’t know anyone,
and tired because of a headache.
So I took some Advil and was tired without a headache.
Then by the middle of Sunday School the next day it was
back.
By the end of Main Service I was kind of nauseous from the pain.
Lunch helped.
Indian buffet always does.
Came home and caught a little nap, which calmed things down
a little as well.
By the end of Evening Service, I was thinking about asking
Taylor to drive on the way home, because it had crept up behind my eyes and was
trying to squeeze the pupils out.
I sound like a whiny baby, don’t I?
I am. Your assumption was correct.
But as soon as we got home and Taylor and I started joking
about something and I had a cup of her tea, I relaxed and felt way better.
Which makes me wonder.
Did I get that headache because I was stressed out about
being around all those people??
Why?
I guess because I’m still trying to establish a good
impression of me on people.
(That may or may not
have been grammatically correct. Nazi’s, feel free to critique.)
But, hold on.
I thought I didn’t care what people thought (besides a
select group of people who’s opinions I value.
I thought I was going to just be myself and if they liked
it, great, if not, oh well.
What happened to that plan?
Not sure, but I can’t function with headaches like this all
the time once school starts and I have a job, so I need to come up with a new
plan.
Which reminds me, I registered today! And got my schedule
for the semester.
I’m taking Greek 1,
OT/NT Survey, Church History 1, Life of Christ, Theology 1, Visitation
1, John, Thessalonians- Titus, Daniel, and Revelation.
Whoo!
Yeah, so I don’t have time for tension headaches. I guess I
need to just quit trying to perform and and relax.
That didn’t use to be something I had to work at.
Funny how those thing switch around.
