Hot Soup Headache

Imagine, if you will, your head is a bowl filled with thick, boiling soup. If you move your head too fast, hot soup will come sloshing out of ears and eyes and nose and mouth and ooze into a sticky mess... now imagine feeling like that for four days.

Thankfully, the soup has now cooled and there is no more sloshing, but the intensity of the heat has seared itself into my skull, like a second-degree burn. People have tried to hold conversations with me, but it was such hard work to wade into the soup to search for words and it took so much energy to pull those words out of the soup, that I found it easier to just keep quiet. By the time any words reached my mouth, they were irrelevant anyway.

Is this the depression, or the headache?
