Chronic Migraine Support

Just a girl who suffers from Chronic Migraine helping others with the same debilitating disease.

Finally found the perfect response

[chronicmigrainesupport]

Person: well you don’t look sick?

Me: well you don’t look like an asshole but I guess looks can be deceiving, huh?

[chronicmigrainesupport]

Would anyone visit a blog if I started one? not necessarily just about migraine life, but about my life in general?

Medical Marijuana and Chronic Migraine

Anyone out there use/try medical marijuana for chronic migraine relief and willing to share with me about their experiences?

[dependent-boy]

honestly, shout out to those who’re balancing mental illness and school. i know it’s hard. i know it’s stressful. i know it’s overwhelming. i know it seems like no one understands, especially when they call you “lazy” or “dumb,” but i am so, so, so proud of you for making it this far. go at your own pace. everything’ll be ok!

Hi my name is Saskia, i’m a 18 year old autistic trans woman from Denmark, and god do i hate the fact that i have to do this, but having autism, depression, ADD,  social anxiety, combined with being an out(and proud) trans woman doesn’t make you very employable. I’m unemployed and a student, my only income is the money i get from the state for being a student, and unfortunately that simply isn’t enough to pay all the bills.

So yes, i’m asking for help here as a last resort, my rent is coming up soon, i’m running out of HRT and my ADD meds, and i’m almost out of food, and i am unable to pay the bills. To make ends meet this month i need $650 more than the $21.48 i have left in my bank account.

I hate to have to beg for help like this, but i simply don’t have any options at this point. My family has cut me off financially and the bank refuses to help. This is my last option.

Anything that you can spare will make me eternally grateful. But please for the love of god don’t donate if you can’t afford to, if you still want to help just reblog.

[commie-saskia-deactivated202211]

So far people have donated $6.6. I am super grateful but i still need $644.4 in order to pay for rent, medicine and HRT this month. I honestly don’t know what to do at this point. If i get evicted i don’t have anywhere to go, and the thought of losing the HRT and terrifies me.

[commie-saskia-deactivated202211]

Please help keep me not-homeless… please…

It’s very frustrating to be disabled sometimes. Not because there’s things I struggle with.

Because of how people treat me.

[heathens-and-kings]

Shoutout to all my girls who are bigger than, taller than, or weigh more than their boyfriends and feel subconscious about it bc our society puts so much emphasis on girls needing to be Less Than boys in every single way, especially physically.

Never apologize for the space you occupy in this world.

[marinashutup]

being able to say “fuck big pharma” and avoid taking prescription medications in lieu of alternative medicine is a privilege

being mentally or physically healthy enough to boycott pharmaceuticals is a huge fucking privilege so please get off your high horse when shaming chronically ill, mentally ill, and disabled people for the medications they need to take in order to function

let’s criticize the institution rather than the people who need to take part in it in order to survive

We are NOT Lazy

Those of us who could not work at some point during our journeys with our disease, we should never be labeled as being lazy. No one can understand the debilitating symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease and how much they take out of us in a given day. It is not just a simple open and close situation. Don’t ever tell us we are not doing our best or that we have no motivation. Instead of complaining what we are doing in our lives, recognize that we are fighting everyday to maintain some sense of stability. There is nothing more that I hate when other people tell you that you are using the system if you are on disability or getting other state assistance especially because people in this world like us really need those resources when we are in major flares and we are feeling absolutely horrible. The point of this post is to pretty much point out that we are not sitting on our butts all day doing nothing with our lives. We have to battle against our own bodies everyday. If there are periods where we are unable to work, support us instead of judge us. Hope everyone is feeling okay. Big Hugs and Lots of Love, Wade <3

Three years ago, my dog went viral on Imgur and Reddit, thanks to this picture I took right after she’d yanked down a post from the front of our house with her bare strength.

But like the image above says, this is not a good post.

That dog above, the one that made so many people laugh, her name is Eva, and she’s my 7-year-old lab. She was just diagnosed with canine lymphoma.

Without chemo, she only has 3 months left with us. But her oncologist has given her a good prognosis with chemotherapy. She could live to see her 9th, 10th, and even 11th birthday.

Which means more years of this happy, ridiculous puppy.

The price to extend her life? $8500.

I nearly died when I saw the number. I’m paying off 4 student loans right now, and my parents are in insurmountable debt. I thought, this is it, we’re screwed. In between crying spells and anxiety attacks, I realized what my choices were: give up and let Eva go in the next 3 months, or crowdfund my ass off.

Internet: you’ve done it before, now I’m begging you, do it again. Spread Eva like wildfire. She deserves a second chance. She deserves the extra time, and all the fun and happiness she’ll have in that time.

Here is the link to her gofundme.

Any amount you can donate will help tremendously. Please, help Eva.

[daynapapaya-deactivated20181023]

Eva has raised over $3,000 in one week!!! Part of that is because of many tumblr users who have donated, thanks to so many of you reblogging this. Please keep sharing. Tag people you know who have lots of followers. Post it on your facebook. On reddit. On twitter. Everywhere!! I have 17 weeks to come up with $5,000 more for this fantastic pupper.

[daynapapaya-deactivated20181023]

That Spoonie Feel When...

Every time you go to the specialists, you’re having a good day so they think you are faking…

[naturaekos]

Sometimes suffering is just suffering. It doesn’t make you stronger. It doesn’t build character. It only hurts.

 Kate Jacobs (via naturaekos)

[chronicpain09]

Is it challenging for you to fake being healthy when you need to? I'm sorry i just sometimes wonder how people with chronic pain are able to look healthy while being in so much pain?

Hey anon! It’s actually not challenging for me to act like I’m not in pain if the situation makes me feel like I NEED to look healthy.  When I was growing up I really wanted to be an actress, as a result of that I took acting classes half my life prior to becoming ill.  For me it’s basically just applying the techniques I learned in acting class in a different way!  However, there is nothing wrong with looking like you’re in pain when you are truly suffering.

[oyymate-itsd-deactivated2017021]

For me personally… I would rather put on a smile and pretend everything is ok than have a million people ask me what’s wrong. I can count on one hand the number of people who are generally aware of how I’m actually feeling. It sucks sometimes but it’s a lot less exhausting than having to explain myself all the time.

[chronicpain09]

Exactly, its so hard to explain what’s going on inside your body when you yourself are not even sure

[ellaermahgerd-deactivated201801]

Definitely easier than expressing how you feel

[chronicmigrainesupport]

I find it easier to act okay than explain what's wrong and deal with the "babying"

[disabilityhealth]

I cannot stress enough the improvement a pet can have on mental health
