Sometimes I feel like I’m on top of things and don’t feel like my trauma defines me and I don’t feel so ashamed and scared. Other times I want to hide from the world and feel like a **** (I’m not going to say the word here since I don’t want to trigger anyone) 😭, I feel so ashamed that I don’t want people to know

Hey @creative_writer I haven't been on the forums for a while but here I am and I wanted to send you some support, that sounds really tough. Is there anything that helps in the moment? Are you able to take a shower to ease some of the discomfort? Sending strength 💝

Nice to see you too @creative_writer but I'm sorry to read you've got migraines..
Eating something often helps me, it's so simple but if the blood sugars are low it throws everything off. Take it easy yeah 💝
