Has Anyone Felt Deep Psychic Pain When Severely Depressed?

[Ka-9]

Im constantly in pain or discomfort in the head - but not hedaches, I feel sick- like a cloudy, foggy, pressure, and I'll get snaps inside like electrical, and it causes a mental frustration/pain. It causes me to retreat to bed, or hide.

Definitely has an emotional component.

No...that's never come up, they are working on a number of other things, but who knows.

K-9 brain fog is a common symptom of Hashimotos Thyroiditis.

Ah, thank you guys- looked it up, had never even known about it.

Aside from brain fog/depression I couldn't relate to a single other symptom listed, but I'll mention it anyways next time I see my Dr.

I don't feel pain in my head but I feel pain in my gut. It's awful awful. I get the way you named that feeling, "physic pain". The pain is so deep within me. I'm tired of it.

I get similar but it's in my heart, not my head. I have often curled into a tiny ball when it happens and Coco described it perfectly

It make sense to me.

I put a flat palm on my chest a lot at these times. I sense it's indicating to myself that I'm feeling, trying to let myself know it's okay to connect with whatever it is through touch, and often searching for what the feeling is.
When it gets full on then my chest starts feeling like there's a rock growing inside and it gets hard to breath.

Is there something soothing about holding your head?

Parts of the head touching skull are tender, painful, always. Top of skull near curve down right side, and below the curve to cervical.

Sleep interrupted by arms falling asleep to pins and needles numbness and pain.

The back and legs … injury

Facial: clenching and arms cross tight around neck pushing upward. Sleep about 1.5 hours before FB, or pain. Tiny me moves the mattress around, and wears holes in sheets.

Yes holding my head and rocking back and forth is somewhat soothing but I like what you said about letting yourself experience the feeling and accept it. Thank you.
