@Eve7it’s just a bad evening. I think my migraine took me over the edge too. Moodiness and migraines are so intertwined, it becomes a chicken and egg situation. I’m just tired of being in so much pain, my days are so unproductive and I am achieving nothing. I’m not living the life I want. I’m just in survival mode. I’m afraid I don’t have many painkiller options due to my prescribed meds, and besides, already been having lots of heartburn which can cause pain if not controlled. Why is the wait for psychiatrists so long? 2 months feels like a longtime. 😢. Maybe I should take my PRN today since I’m going downhill.

Hi @creative_writer,
I'm sorry you are feeling this way - I would imagine being psychically unwell isn't helping how you feel either. It is good to read that the PRN was able to help you a bit with your agitation and thoughts.
Hope you feel better soon and that flat feeling lifts for you soon.

I didn't know that mood changes is a migraine symptom @creative_writer. Although now that I think about it makes sense. I was a bit flat a couple of weeks ago and had a migraine (which I don't usually get) - perhaps that's why the migraine come on?
I empathise with you around depression, I've been down that rabbit hole a couple of times in my life and it was no fun. Took a lot of work and energy (which is ironic because I had little energy when I was depressed) to crawl back out of but I did eventually get there.
I really hope you start to feel a positive shift soon and you start to feel better ❤️

@FloatingFeathermigraines are so weird and not pleasant. Moodiness is a very common symptom of migraines. It sort of makes sense, some mood meds are used for migraines.
I had a shower, feeling a bit better and more clean. I find myself second guessing my ability to make decisions regarding my care. There is so much anxiety. Maybe it’s a consequence of overprotective parenting. My parents still think I’m a naive little girl. My parents didn’t trust people, it’s been hard. And trauma confirms why I shouldn’t trust people.
