Tension headache

Anybody out there who has good cure for tension headache? For the last week or so it has been getting worse for each day and today it’s just driving me mad. It feels like I have a hooded cape over my head that drapes down over the shoulders. My scalp, neck and shoulders all ache and are very tender. It just hurts and makes me miserable and quite irritable. Ugh!

I know painkiller is just a temporary relief so I try to stay away from them as much as possible. Taking a hot bath or shower usually helps, but not this time. The same goes for massaging my poor muscles, but they just won’t give in. So what else can I do? I know some part is to blame on the lack of exercise the last month(s). Work is probably to blame too. Too many projects going on that need my attention as well as being new in the manager role. Being a manager full time is different than being a "working" manager. Just going from meeting to meeting and not producing anything (than paper) takes time getting use to. It’s not that I don't like it. It’s just very different from what I’m used to. And as usual I also put a lot pressure on myself. I have to succeed! So I guess what I need most of all is to learn how to relax and don’t take things too seriously. After all... tomorrow is another day, as Scarlett O’Hara used to say.
