Infection - Hit my head

Hollz · 27-07-2007, 08:30 PM

Okay, I know it was daft but whilst trying to control things in other ways, I started hitting my head off walls again, not something I had really done since I was in high school - when my guidance teacher said she would rather I'd cut, than do it.

Anyway, I did it yestersday and the day before, and as a result well I have a huge lump on my head. Anyway, I felt okay like at the time, no other side effects.

I have now though started taking a few dizzy spells and feelings of nasuea. I mean should I take anything or what should I do? My head is sore but I am tryying to avoid painkillers, but just want to get rid of the dizziness and stuff.

Any help appreciated.

its alright its not daft at all. it sounds like, because of something insensitive said at the last moment, you have got into a not nice cycle. thedizzy spells and nausea may have taken a while to set in, but they are obviously affecting you now. i wouldnt take painkillers yete if you are trying to avoid them, perhaps ask a first aid person or something?
hope this helps

I feel a bit better, I am home and had something to eat.

God, I really do need to stop taking everything out on myself like this.

Glad you're feeling better.
You're right though, you really do need to stop taking these things out on yourself.
Take care of yourself.

Head injuries can often take a few hours to become apparent.
If you begin to feel drowsey or confussed, or you vomit, then you should go to A&E for a check up.
It is possible to get concussion from banging your head, which can have serious consequences if not treated properly.

Perhaps you could try looking at other ways to get your feelings out. Maybe worth speaking to your doctor who might be able to offer you some extra support.

Take care
