When I get really depressed, I have a big pain in the spot between the temple and the frontal lobe-- I think it's the temporal lobe-- on the right side, and a smaller one on the left side, but the one on the right side is really awful. It's like-- or it is-- cold, dark, hard matter, stuck in my head. A barrier, perhaps literally.

I had headaches more often when I was out in the world and exposed to lots of stress. I still get the occasional migraine but I haven't thought to see if it correlates to feeling depressed. The next time I get one I'll see if there is a relation.

Ya, I get unexplained headaches too, due to this misery.

Um, could it be because you're bashing your head on your desk, or is it an internal thing? :)

No, it's an internal thing.
