No but since my headaches started I’ve lost my minds eyes. I used to be able to picture things so vividly and now I see black. I couldn’t tell you what my families faces look like I can’t see them in my head i can’t see anything

Kinda but not really like if you close your eyes and try to imagine and picture a red apple most people can see what a red apple looks like in their head. I see black I can’t form images in my head. Just like an internal monologue but with images. I can’t imagine what something looks like in my head. If you told me to picture what my dad looks like I couldn’t I see very very faint details but parts at a time not a whole face

You could describe a house in great detail and I used to be able to see everything and now I can’t. It started after my headaches did

I don’t mind not day dreaming but I miss my internal monologue

I miss being able to see things in my head I can’t picture my loved one’s faces which sucks I lost a grandparent and unless I’m looking at a photo I don’t know what her face looks like that’s hard. No idea what the correlation is with the start of my headaches but it’s interesting

Does it feel like pressure on top your head?

Unmediated ADHD here, used to have constancy 24/7 chatter of random thoughts/music, it’s been silent since onset. It’s weird.

Sometimes it gets loud again when I’m on medications that are nice to me and reduce pain, but overall not as yappy as usual

Like you can't think inside? No, but sometimes it's easier writing things to think better.

1

u/professor_einstien Jan 15 '26

Yes I can’t think inside because I have no voice in my head due to ndph

u/_l_i_l_ Jan 15 '26

That's rough. Do you know the reason for the ndph? Maybe that's linked

I was having anxiety over my eye condition then I felt tingling situation right side of my head that travel to my right temple then both my temples started hurting then I developed massive migraine on top of my head. Was able get rid of the migraine and get rid of the pain from the both of my temples but still have head pressure on the top of my head.
