Can Depression, Anxiety Be The Cause For Getting Headaches, Lump In The Front Of Tragus In Left Ear?

Hi. I found a hard pea sized lump just in front of my left tragus. I found this because I had an itch by my ear and it felt achy in that area so I prodded round and found this lump and over the past day since ive found it I have been getting really drowsy and getting headaches which is very rare for me to get headaches.. But I have been suffering with depression and anxiety the past year could this be years cause?? If not what is it?? I researched and it says swolen lymph node or Timor? Worried :/

Thank for asking to HCM
I understand your problem and let me tell you that you can be having headache due to your anxiety and depression but anxiety does not cause any lump or lymph node in practical but of course you might have such impression while you touch some part of you body or see it that is the lump or swelling (false impression) just keep your stress level low every thing will be fine have nice day.
