I was an old friends house yesterday and one of them playfully bumped the back of my head. He didn't know about my accident. And I started feeling a slight headache. I have a slight headache but i know that im dehydrated. I'm freaking out because I just transferred to a top 20 school and I keep thinking of how my life will become the worst day of my life extended by a few brief naps but maybe my headache is bc of anxiety. SOMEONE SNAP ME OUT OF IT.

Relax. It's going to all feels worse unless you relax. That's what I learned. Stress and anxiety to blow up our symptoms and make them worse then what they are. Take a break, chill, do something relaxing. Also, drink some water and take a tylenol.
