chronic migraines

I’m laying in bed crying uncontrollably. I want to have a good weekend. Small obstacles are insurmountable. My dog pulled me down this morning during a walk. My neighbor got him but I was crying hard, and it was embarrassing. My dog has to be seen by the vet to get heart worm pills, but he will not get in the car, so we didn’t go. I have asked people for help many times. My house is a mess. I’m laying on pee sheets and there are more stacked in the hallway. I need help moving my lawnmower so that I can work in the yard. I don’t have energy. I keep trying but failing. I’m by myself- I have to do everything to sustain my life and take care of the house and pets. Work FT, pay for bills, gas, and tolls. Make appointments and fill prescriptions, fight with insurance when things aren’t covered. I have too many bad days for all this to be sustainable. I need help- I tell my family that all the time, but they don’t do anything. I know it’s not their responsibility, but what can I do? I go to therapy and dr appts, take my meds, manage to work. I need more help but there’s nowhere and no way to get it. So I’ll just keep sinking until another “good” day comes. Thanks for reading.

Has anyone gotten a pixie cut/short haircut because maintenance is so difficult with chronic pain?
Pre-chronic pain, I usually kept medium-long hair, and would color it regularly. Now, it's short/medium length, but it's such a chore that I'm only able to wash it once every week or two.
I've refused to get a pixie, up to this point, because I don't have the face for it but, maybe, I'm just being hard on myself since I love everyone else's.
I'm leaning more and more towards a super low-maintenance haircut, though, because I'm tired of feeling like a failure for not being able to take care of it.

So many people just don't understand thre difference between a migraine and a headache. Thr weird migraine gets tossed around so often that it's become a cultural lingo for anything that is annoying, gives you a mild headache or is just generally disliked. For those of us who truly have this disease it's frustrating because of the idea that's it's just an inconvenience and not a fully disabling disease. #ChronicMigraines

What does it take for you to get through a situation where you are having to call off things st thr lady minute? I feel like I'm failing addy being a parent because I miss soo much of their lives.
