> > > I've been experiencing quick, sharp pains near the top (and sometimes sides) of my head. They seem to be farily unpredictalbe, and can go away for a couple of weeks, and then suddenly come back. I'm under mind numbing stress right now, so I'm beggining to wonder if that might be what's causing them. Has anyone else had such pains as a result of high anxiety? If so, what has helped?

> > hey anxiety can do many things to your body. Just shows you how powerful your mind is over your body. Do they last long are do they just happen and go away very quick. iam sure your probably getting migraines. if so I use Relpax which works wonders within 15 minutes. Truly a good drug which does its job. Are you taking anything for your anxiety?

I'm currently a college student, studying physics. Recently, however, my mathematical thinking has gone WAY down hill, and I've become fiercely depressed. I fear that I'm losing my mind and will never be able to continue my studies.

You will know if its anxiety-can't sleep, nervous, shaking, racing thoughts, can't make decisions, fears that are not practical, headaches, claustrophobia around people or closedd in spaces such as a classroom.
You may have such a fear of not passing that anxiety is causing you to snowball into a depression. You probably need to see your doctor or someone like an internist that is even better to find the root of your problem
