Anyone who says boohoo has clearly never had a migraine. I’ve only had one once and holy shit. …that was much more than a headache.

Yeah, saying migraine is “just a headache” is like saying a heart attack is “just a little chest pain”. It’s one of the most common chronic health problems, and yet it’s significantly mocked. So annoying.

and like even if it is just headache… HEADACHES SUCK! we need to normalize actually taking a break when you have pain, ignoring it because it’s “no big deal” is so fucking toxic

Exactly. Like I have to ignore a lot of pain constantly, but that’s cause I live with chronic pain 24/7/365. So if I want to do anything with my life I have to deal with it when it’s manageable. But when it passes my threshold I am out. Done, I need to rest, take a break, meds, nap, etc. And then I get shamed by people “for not being able to handle a little pain”, even though I’m in more pain every day than many people have ever been in.
