Headaches are the worst. Those of us who get migraines know that better than anyone.
1. Either an impromptu Ke$ha video is being filmed or I’m going to get a migraine.
Is there dust in the air or is this an aura?
2. That person is talking. I must silence them.
Even the silence is too loud.
3. WHY IS THAT STREETLIGHT/DESK LAMP/SUN/SCREEN SO BRIGHT??
4. How long will it take these painkillers to work?
WILL they work??
5. If I just chug a bottle of wine, will that make it go away?
6. I love my roommate, but. . . .
7. My boss/professor is going to kill me if I miss.
If you get chronic migraines, you’re probably past your quota.
8. I still have homework. &#^$.
9. Can someone lie here with me in the dark and assure me it’s going to be okay?
10. If my neighbors don’t stop screaming, I will personally shut them up.
11. You know, lobotomy might not be that bad.
Splitting my skull open seems to be the only way to relieve the pressure building in my brain.
12. Caffeine could either solve all of my problems or make everything worse.
13. Why does no one else seem to get it?
14. Moving a single muscle seems like too much effort right now.
So weak.
15. Is this the one that will kill me?
16. How am I freezing but also dying of heat exhaustion?
17. Just let me sleep it off. . . .
Stay strong, migraine sufferers.
