Writing gives me a massive headache and always makes me feel kind of exhausted... Is that normal?

My discord is @noxulous do not be afraid to add and talk to me.
I am perpetually poor and would like to commission a thing that's been eating my mind for years.

I mean, writing does take a lot of mental effort, but I don't know if that's normal. I doubt it's the act of writing itself tho. It could be that your writing method puts more mental or physical strain on you than it should. Make sure you're letting your mind/body rest by taking breaks if you need them, also make sure you're not letting yourself get dehydrated, and make sure you're not in an uncomfortable position while writing. If none of that fixes it then, it could be something unrelated to the writing that happens to get worse when you write. You could also just be sleepy, I often get headaches when I'm tired
Ive seen to my needs it just that for some reason its like im concentrating on making it as good as i possibly can with my limited skill and my brain just feels kinda fried by the end~
That sounds like mental exhaustion then. When I write pretty much anything (even this reply), I tend to naturally stop and get distracted pretty often, so I end up taking a lot of mental breaks (unintentionally). I definitely have worked myself into headaches before with other stuff tho, usually by being frustrated. It's hard to sustain focus for long periods of time, and sometimes it's better to let a thought become a "background process" for a bit. But I also don't have all the context that you do, so I could be super wrong >.<
No you might be right! However it seems like i thrive on this sensation because i was depressed yesterday until i did some fruitful research on electric heating then did some tests on my braided nichrome, it left a similar headache but i felt energized, like i had a second wind, it was like i offloaded a huge amount of... Something... And as tiring as it was it made me feel better~
I get a similar sensation when i obsessively research a subject until i understabd it in a granular fashion, or finish collecting volumes of information for my digital library~
