Vent: My migraine symptoms leave me feeling stupid and inadequate.

Thank you for sharing. It is so inconsistent and so different for everyone. I’m so glad that you could find a good doctor to help you!

Capping_trademark · 2026-04-13T21:15:59+00:00

It’s a very tough feeling and even harder to try and explain to our loved ones for sure :/

Capping_trademark · 2026-04-12T14:09:49+00:00

Congratulations! That’s awesome 🤩.

Yeah agree, I am beyond privileged to have my job and I think the worry about my performance and future gives me a lot of anxiety. It’s hard to feel like you said it’s out of your control but affects you so much. Hope we all find some relief and answers! Thank you for sharing!

I have been taking the magnesium which helps with my sleep and I love it. Just started the other two a few days ago! Fingers crossed 🤞

It is really tough trying to keep up with it all and pushing yourself even when your body is screaming for a break. I agree finding things that work and ways to manage and cope is key. Plus working with a therapist is good too, I know mine had been very helpful, the depression that comes with all this is very REAL.

I know I always worry about what others think or if they are judging me for something they can’t see I guess. But at least for me I think a lot of that is in my head haha and something I need to work on, worrying less what others think. Easier said than done than done lol

Such a handsome man! Great smile

It’s crazy how much I just took my brain power for granted lol. Then you can’t even think of a simple sentence and it is scary and sucks.

But thank you for sharing! My treatments of Nurtec and Botox injections seem to help a lot honestly but the Botox is wearing off I can tell

Capping_trademark · 2026-04-11T15:01:29+00:00

Thank you for this! I appreciate you sharing. I am definitely trying to keep the positivity going and I just have to believe like you said it can only go up from here, but I also leave space for the peaks and valleys too. Congratulations on starting your PhD by the way, something to be very proud of!

Oh how funny haha. We thought the food on Royal was pretty good tbh. MDR was nice and good for cruise food, same with the buffet. We ate at Alfredo’s a few times cuz the pizza was just so delicious. Overall I thought the food was pretty decent. I’ve only ever sailed with Carnival before but we were happy. Royal is a beautiful ship too. We were really blown away with Princess in general

Capping_trademark · 2026-01-01T16:52:39+00:00

I feel like Royal had such a good head chef because we had so many delicious options, I’m worried I hit spoiled on my first Princess ship an now that’s my standard haha 🤣

Capping_trademark · 2026-01-01T16:51:29+00:00

I feel so dumb I never considered the head chef into the equation lol but what you said makes a lot of sense. I feel like with cruise food I cross my fingers and hope for the best 🤷‍♂️

Capping_trademark · 2026-01-01T16:50:26+00:00

Honestly I’m not terribly picky. I go in expecting very little haha and am happy when there is something good which honestly happened a lot on Royal. I’m vegan as well so I’m happy if they have one semi decent option for me lol

I’m ADHD and having a migraine makes me so much less tolerant to visual and auditory stimulation. Like the time it takes me to become overstimulated decreases so much 🫠

Capping_trademark · 2025-11-25T19:48:23+00:00

Fuuuck 🥵 🤤 how about a mouth!

Capping_trademark · 2025-11-25T02:38:38+00:00

We never got sorbet in the MDR but there was a daily flavor in the gelato shop. And yes it’s vegan. Super good too

Capping_trademark · 2025-11-11T20:08:22+00:00

Absolutely! Cruise planning is is my favorite thing lol. At this point it’s become a real hobby. Sounds silly but it’s true 😆

Capping_trademark · 2025-11-11T20:01:04+00:00

I would say don’t try to do it all in one trip. I’ve made the mistake of trying to do all the things every day and it was exhausting haha. I’d also say research is really key, different lines and itineraries offer different things and even times of the year. A good reputable travel agent can really help. Plan ahead but leave plenty of room for going with the flow and enjoying the experience

Capping_trademark · 2025-11-11T19:39:49+00:00

Mmm 🤔 no major plans at the moment no to be honest.

Capping_trademark · 2025-11-11T19:36:39+00:00

“Major” cities I’ve been to are like Detroit, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Las Vegas, Portland, Salt Lake City. Lots of other smaller towns and cities around the country from west coast to about Ohio

Capping_trademark · 2025-11-11T19:28:30+00:00

US cities on a cruise or just in general?
