PERSONA DANCING ALL OVER MY SOUL
"I generally just tumble around."
Someone: Okay, but everyone gets headaches sometimes- it's not like an illness or anything.
Me: It would be so amazing if I only got headaches “sometimes”.

People mistakenly think because I have a chronic illness that I know how sick I really am at any given time. My disease sneaks up on even me. I feel okay one minute and the next I feel like I am dying.

Can I just say that one thing I love about robotics meets is that I can wear earplugs and nobody asks me why. It’s just a commonly known fact that the meets are too loud for some people and earplugs are a safety precaution that allow people to keep having fun even when the pits or stands get uber loud and hyper.

Why can’t people in every other setting grasp this? I would,wear earplugs all the time in public if it didn’t cause people to constantly ask me why.

First night of the year and I have a migraine.

I hope this doesn’t set the tone for the year.

People who think those with mental disorders are “faking it” or milking it for the attention are the worst kind of people.

A lot of my friends suffer from mental illness, myself included. Today at robotics one of my friends passed out because of her extreme migraines and stress (an experience I’m all too familiar with). Of course one guy decides to be an asshat (a guy who wasn’t even robotics but was just loitering around in the room) and says “look she’s still breathing she’s clearly not passed out. I bet she’s faking.”.

Where do I even begins with all the things wrong with that?

Fun Fact: My migraines are getting worse lately, and I’m not allowed to take painkillers for them.

I’m starting to get really paranoid because it’s only a matter of time before I have an anxiety attack from my migraines. I haven’t had one at school since May, and I’m hoping to keep it that way.

Stressing over this isn’t helping my anxiety, though.

Help.
