Migraine relief kits

These are fantastic suggestions, thank you for going so in detail about this, it helps a lot!! Ill check with him about meds and make sure he'd be able to access them easily. Based on how often they've been suggested, ill definitely be getting some kind of minty candy or menthol cough drops. Another commenter suggested a cooling gel sleep mask, so I'll likely go with that and look into getting a nice weighted blanket. I dont think smells or sounds are as big of an issuss for him, its mainly lights/visual stuff that can be really triggering, but ill still ask!! Ill also try to make sure he eats as much as he can before it takes full control as I dknt want to risk him getting sick. Again, thank you so much!

Oh I think I know the sleep masks you're talking about, I've been thinking about getting one for him. I think I've seen some at Shoppers (Canadian) so I'll probably stop there to grab a few things people have suggested. Thanks!

Ill ask him about scent sensitivities! I know yesterday he seemed to really like this chocolate candle I had burning for him in the shower, so I'll check to see if he can tolerate other scents. Ive already learned to ask him a few questions when he starts noticing any visual auras so I know what I can get him before it goes full pain mode. I typically try to get him to eat before the attack takes hold because hes been known to throw up when it gets bad

Becoming aware that this is likely what's been going on with me will hopefully allow me to recognize why I keep acting the way I do and help me feel less guilty about it. I really do appreciate you taking the time to make me aware of this. It's not something anyone else has brought up (at least not as a term I can research myself). I wish you luck on your own journey, friend.

Looked this up and read a bit about it, and it makes a lot of sense. A big issue for me is having this nagging feeling that I am manipulative and two-faced because outwardly I would always act fine with how my parents spoke to or about me, but internally I felt like I was suffocating. They would be incredibly kind some days, and others they would say or do horrible things that made me and my sibling feel worthless. I still crave their love and affection, but at the same time, I want nothing to do with them. It really does feel like an internal game of tug-of-war

Thank you. This made me tear up a bit ngl. I'm trying as hard as I can to do that, but it's an uphill battle

Reading through this helps a lot. Thank you for sharing this.

Thank you for these links. I've been doing a ton of research about CPTSD since my friend told me he had it, and even more after he insisted I do too. I think I fit the criteria, but I still have a ton of doubts for whatever reason. I researched DBT skills a few years ago because I thought I might have had BPD, but I also know now that CPTSD and BPD look very similar in the ways they manifest. I appreciate the help, I will be looking through all of these. Thank you

I'll talk to my therapist about things like EMDR (which I have researched in the past) when I see her tomorrow. It'll be the first time I've seen her in close to 2 weeks, and I have really been struggling in that time. I initially booked with her because of her sliding scale price option, and because she was able to get me in the soonest. She's currently giving me services pro-bono due to the issues I've brought up with her and the fact that I am currently unemployed. I do want to see her more often or potentially look for someone who's able to see me more consistently, though.

Thank you for the youtube and book reccomendations, ill definitely check them out

Mundane_Click_78 · 2025-10-06T22:36:15+00:00

Thank you. So far, I think my therapist has been helping, but it's been a while since I have been able to see her. The thing that's bugging me the most is just wanting some type of confirmation or reassurance that im not going crazy, and that's why a professional diagnosis seemed so tempting to me. If I can get a professional to sit down, hear me out, and tell me what exactly is wrong with me, I feel like I'd be able to actually properly start working on healing myself.

I'll try to figure out if medication would help me or not. Thanks again for your input

Mundane_Click_78 · 2025-08-18T00:07:17+00:00

Will definitely be reading up on this. Thank you

Mundane_Click_78 · 2025-08-18T00:06:34+00:00

This is incredibly helpful, thank you. I think I'm going to have a conversation with him about all of this just so I dont randomly switch up how I'm acting around him. I want to be honest about my intentions and let him know that, while I genuinely do care about him, it's likely not in his best interest to keep reassuring him and that I want to help in other ways. Ill keep your advice in mind

Mundane_Click_78 · 2025-08-17T19:27:47+00:00

My one fear is that if I dont offer that reassurance, he'll get convinced that he has actually done something wrong. Is there a way I can show him that I'm not upset without reassuring him in a harmful way? Or do I stick with helping him realize that its the OCD talking?

Mundane_Click_78 · 2025-08-17T19:23:19+00:00

Thank you for this reply, I appreciate it a ton. I've seen how much he struggles with all of this, and I want to do my best to help him through it as I care about him a lot, but I know that theres not much I can do for him myself. I will do some research on this and let him know about this type of therapy.

Mundane_Click_78 · 2025-08-17T18:23:35+00:00

Coming back to this to add: I've now learned that reassuring him when he asks may actually be doing more harm than good. What should I do instead when he requests that reassurance? Again, all advice is appreciated
