I had a migraine triggered yesterday from barely sleeping and still recovering from it. I slept better last night, mind still feels very foggy. This morning I felt discomfort in my body, my mind went to when I used to feel it years ago. Then I noticed myself feeling distant, sort of floaty. I hope I can get through the day today with uni

hi @creative_writer
I recently heard that adding a pinch of salt to your water, or tea, or even your cereal can greatly reinforce against migraine. It's a sodium thing... Probly even better if you use pink salt...?
All the best today. 🙏
If you're feeling unsteady please consider taking a sick day and laying down, huh?

Was talking about Dissociation with Redress counsellor today. @creative_writer Take Care but hard thing is when studying we do get focussed in our heads a lot. I found vigorous walks helped balance me whe I was at uni.
@Snowie @Kyle1 Good thinking ....

Hey @creative_writer sorry to hear you're feeling so ick. Could you email your teacher and let them know you're feeling this way, and unsure if you'll be able to make it? That way you can ask for them to send you anything you might miss out on and stay up to date.

Oh that's good @creative_writer I hope you are still able to log in and take some of it in, even if you're a bit out of it.
Mm something our brains do to protect us sometimes. Or it could be that there's no emotions that need to be here right now.

Doesn't sound weird to me @creative_writer brain-body connection is very strong, much more so than we think. Could you do anything body-focused to try to instill some feelings of comfort, or change how you're feeling?
