I was diagnosed with migraine headaches when I was a kid and they became very frequent when I started taking Wellbutrin some months ago. Ever since then I’ve been relying on weed as my go to painkiller but my plug is out of town atm and annoyingly the pain’s particularly bad this afternoon. My health anxiety is also through the roof today, i’m dealing with my usual “what if it’s brain cancer” shenanigans, especially because i had a brain scan in May and cannot afford to get another one.

Basically it’s been a rough day, I could really use some support rn and I’d really appreciate if you wrote some nice comments to make me feel less alone. Feel free to open up about how you’re feeling as well, and i’d be more than happy to reciprocate your kindness if you happen to be struggling too. Thanks in advance.

    i'm sorry for the shitty migraine friend. i've also had migraine headaches for years and it's just so debilitating.

    don't feel guilty for taking time to rest when you need it. the guilt associated with being unproductive is just capitalism trying to shame us into not taking care of ourselves.
