It hurts me to use my mind

Post Reply New Topic

I'm having real trouble at the moment understanding when I'm outside of my limitations and what I'm capable of. All work seem to do is make me think all the time and it hurts so much. All I want to do is feel and be happy but my job just drains me until there's nothing left. What can I do about this? It's like I either do this job in computing or become a cleaner, there's no middle ground.

I'm not quite sure what would cause your head to hurt from thinking...are you sure it's not a stress-induced headache that comes on as a result of all the thinking? I've gotten stressed from thinking too much, and I find that the best remedy for me is to take a very short break and grab a quick drink. Also, how's your eyesight? You may be straining your eyes, in which case you may want to consider picking up a pair of reading glasses.

What kind of hours are you working?

Me too.my head hurts when I have to think. I believe it's stress related. Muscles round my head always feel tight. I think that when I have to think I become more aware of the pain that is already there. When i'm distracted I don't notice it.
Have you tried massage? Might help relieve the pain.

Mine isn't a physical pain. It's one of confusion from too many thoughts and a restlessness.

It's not even from a job but trying to juggle all the information I experience in a day.

I finally solved this problem which I've had for as long as I can remember, the solution was so good I've decided to make a separate post for it. It's about sabotage. Sometimes I wish this forum had a resolved button!
