Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I suffer from headaches, but they are going away because I am on my anti-depressants again. Does anybody else have these gross unbelievable headaches where your brain feels like it will explode, and it feels like there are strange physical organisms crawling around in there everytime you have a negative thought?

I get headaches alot. Maybe not to the extent of the organisms thing.lol. They hurt and make us miserable. Coming off of meds can cause severe ones.

My problem is when I start getting the headaches I start clenching my jaw and grinding my teeth. My jaw hurts all the time its just a continous cycle. xxx

Luv- I know what you mean, but I'm sure you've noticed it only makes the pain worse. Consciously keep relaxing your jaw. It'll help.

Yeah it definetely makes things worse. I wear a guard on my teeth at night so I dont wear my teeth down. I go to Yoga and find that it helps to relax me.

Luv- Look into Cranio-Sacral massage. Maybe it would help everyone here. It's a gentle massage treatment that focuses on the muscles of the neck, head, face, and jaw. I've found it to be very helpful for my headaches. Alot of massage places offer it now.
