I’m writing this with tears in my eyes, I haven’t felt this vulnerable for a long time. The last couple of weeks I dealt with daily migraines, which again I always try to see the good side, length, intensity etc have been much better, but anyway were around 14 days dealing with migraines and medication. Even if I try to do my best, to be as strong as I can be, those days and excess of medication pay a HUGE toll on my body. While I’m able to do daily life, on the inside my body is on survival mode, it takes a lot (if not all) my strength and energy to beat the migraine, while doing chores, mom life, personal life, work, etc. So these last couple of days, I just gave in, I couldn’t go on. I feel like I have 5000 bricks over my shoulders. I’ve never felt this lack of energy before, and I always tend to “forget” (I think unconsciously) when I deal with daily migraines for weeks, so I usually found myself asking why am I feeling like this if it was only “3 days” with migraines? What is wrong with me?! Am I not trying hard enough? Until my husband brings me back to reality, and remembers me they weren’t 3 days but 14! So I know I’m allowed to feel this way, I know how triptans suck the energy out of you, but anyway I can’t help to feel like I’m failing sometimes. I also know I’m doing a great job, I know I sometimes do more than my body can, but anyway some days it’s inevitable to feel bad with yourself. I have a great support system, my husband takes charge of everything when I can’t, but in my head I do feel like I can’t give all that I expected, or that I’m not the mother I want to be, and if I already feel 5000 bricks on me, this guilt adds 3000 more. Usually I’m able to stop my mind when it tries to go deep on this, other days like today, that even though I did 100 things, and at 6pm I couldn’t go on, I feel like shit!
I’m sure tomorrow I’ll feel again like a champ, but I also think it’s important to show the vulnerable side of dealing with this thing.
I created this profile for the good and the bad, today I’m writing the bad, I gave myself permission for tonight to feel like this, I will see you all tomorrow like the champions we all are! Good night!
Message for tough days when your burdens seem impossible to carry, please remember: you are stronger than you know + more capable than you could imagine ♀️ You’ve gotten through your hardest days and can do it again now.

Again so thankful for the opportunities this profile has given me. Being able to share my story on a larger scale, to create awareness, and help others going through the same thing, is priceless, and it’s the real purpose of this account. I never thought my story was worth sharing, or that I was doing something great. But as I said before, this profile gave me so much more than I can give back, because it not only let me raise my voice, but it also let me know I’m validated, I’m visible, and made me believe more in myself. So thank you again!
Thank you @amycapetta for this incredible opportunity and making me feel like a queen for that day!

Mid week reminder that healing doesn’t necessarily means the pain is forever gone, but more (or at least equally) important, that it doesn’t control you anymore.
Good night .
