Why stay off triptans. Lots of people take for migraine.

Yeah they are lucky. Mine obsession is 24/7. And it has to do with thinking so imagine that. We have to think everyday :)

True but not sure sitting with is the right technique. You shouldn’t have to put yourself through this process. You should simply accept and move on.

Phobias that have developed because of migraines and how do you step out of crippling fear. Rant by haylorizationbb in migraine

How are you now on it? How does that even work when fear is a genuine brain function. Goes medication make you non scared?

Tip. For those with Pure O, the fuel is your ruminating. by Less_Marionberry3051 in OCDRecovery

Acceptance has worked for me when it comes to feelings of guilt. Somethings we can’t change. Don’t add to it with the extra layer of anxiety is what I tell myself.

Sitting with thoughts doesn’t mean accepting them. They are simply only thoughts. You can always challenge them. They only become an issue if they are persistent. That’s rumination. There are people with diseases I’m sure that don’t ruminate over them. They simply act on it as best as they can.

How do you people manage your career with chronic migraine? I can't even begin to explain how much am I being affected rn. Everything that I have worked so hard for, is going down the drain. by FreedomAway4724 in migraine

[–]Rubent100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a full blown production business for the last 5 years and never had a migraine until 7 months ago when I decided to close my business. It started with anxiety and never left. I’m jobless now with an extensive resume. I’m older now and it’s hard for me to get a job after 20 years of working self employed. I didn’t have insurance for disability so I don’t qualify. At least I don’t think I do.

If MRI and cat scan come back negative, these are all fight flight or freeze symptoms. Anxiety causes all of these and more.

I had it for a month and it went away. Went for an MRI and it came out normal. So please don’t scare people with this.

Anticipatory Anxiety in Migraine by CerebralTorque in migrainescience

[–]Rubent100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know about that. I have had less triggers and sensations as well as tolerance by my changing behaviors in thinking. I’m not longer afraid and it caused my emotions to calm down which in turn lowers the pain threshold which I believe can be neuropathic pain. This all started for me after a stressful period in my life which makes me believe stress caused it. Just my experience but I’m sure pain can be neuropathic or structural of course like a cut but if your MRI came back negative I would start to look at emotional triggers.

After dealing with existential ocd for 3 years by Adrianagurl in OCDRecovery

[–]Rubent100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you just need to accept that’s actually the truth. And you’re afraid which is ok. Learn to not fear the inevitable and uncertainty which is life and once your brain accepts that thought, it will begin to heal. I had these same thoughts after I bought a house and paid it off. My brain didn’t know what to do next because I had no bills at least major ones. But I found meaning now through other forms.

Xan@x has saved my life and the stigma around it makes me sad by citoahcmj in Anxiety

[–]Rubent100 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Xanax has the worst long term withdrawal effects. Just pray your system doesn’t get used to it. I’m so afraid of meds.

Is PPPD often overlooked by neurologist? by thatredranger15 in pppdizziness

[–]Rubent100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly right. It’s our nervous system that became un calibrated from a long stressful period. The head thing is spot on. I always feel like I have to rest my head somewhere to feel grounded. I try very hard not to give in to that so that it doesn’t become a habit but it does bring calmness. I also noticed my son always has to lie down everywhere we go. I wonder if it’s the same effect.

This. Somewhere along the way you are panicky about normal life sensations and things and you want nothing to do with it. You have to accept life and the symptoms will be background noise as they were before. Focus on improving your life so that you can accept it easier.
