I think the same thing happened to me yesterday, I really wanted to do something nice, not only because I wanted to publish for needleworkmonday but also because I want to continue making progress on the things I want to bring to my mother for Christmas, but between my health and my other occupations, there was a moment that I wanted to give up.
I remember that in the middle of the morning I saw the time and I stopped, my thoughts told me: Is it really worth it to continue? I was filled with rage for a moment because in my heart I wanted to do the craft, but my headache told me: Go to bed!
But you know what, I shook it off, took a pain pill, relaxed with music I like, rested for five minutes while the pills took effect and continued.
It is NOT easy, but it is better to rest for a minute, to clear your mind, to know if what you are doing is really necessary and when you want from your heart to do something then your mind and your body will become one to function.

I am so sorry to hear that you have health problems, headaches and lost hope. As you can imagine: I feel you. I mostly am like you, trying to stop for a moment to sort feelings and thoughts and do what is necessary. But in other moments... I don't know, perhaps there are too many things coming together and overwhelm me.
Today all is thankfully better. I think the weather plays a role as the sun is out (we really had only grey sky, rain and mist for days) and I managed to finish another painting and a sweater (I hope to write anbout the sweater on Monday, such an unusual pattern).
Thank you so much for sharing your feelings with me. It really helped <3
