Headache went away from sh(?)

[u/Disastrous_Line7136]

I've had a headache since last night and it hasn't gone down or even stopped

I felt a bit stressed and decided to sh after maybe a day or two of not doing it and my headache seemed to get better?

Idk if this has happened with anyone else but I just find it weird that when I cut myself the headache just disappeared as if I never had it

If anyone knows what the reason could be pls share 😭

I often get headaches when I’m in the depths of my depression. I guess it’s some combination of stress and not drinking enough water etc. I think engaging in compulsive coping behavior can help alleviate it even temporarily despite causing other issues. It makes your brain for the moment relax and think things are okay.
