My head falls asleep
Thu, 03/11/2010 - 16:39It's difficult for me to describe this, but the past few months my head just falls asleep without warning. The reason why I say this is because it feels like when your foot falls asleep. Like the pins and needles and a little numbness and then that cold feeling. Right before, I start to feel extremely sad, like I want to cry. This feeling can last for an hour or more. I'm getting it now and I noticed that my mood is starting to go back up slowly. Sometimes I get pressure on the left side of my head like someone is touching me. it just stays there and I find myself putting my hand up there. Then it will feel like my face drops on one side. It kind of like jell-o.
Does anyone get this?
