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 you're suffering comrade. I've never had a migraine (I don't think) so I can't say I know how you feel, but I do know how utterly exhausting it is to be stuck in the present moment due to pain or discomfort, especially when there's some aspect of it the dumb mean part of your brain can latch onto (i.e. health anxiety).

    We're here for you and we care about you. What kind of things could I send you to help distract you and take your mind off it without worsening the symptoms?

    I'll be thinking of you and sending you good vibes <3

      thank you so much. it rly does suck, i had a brain scan not too long ago so im prolly fine, but still the pain is a constant reminder that there is a tiny possibility that there’s a tumor growing in my brain and that terrifies me :(( senator McCain died within a few months after his brain cancer diagnosis, i hope i’m not doomed to meet the same fate 😭

      oh and any kind of funny commie/chapo-type content would certainly cheer me up. <3
