Tip Tuesday- The Truth Behind Venting

Oftentimes, we vent because we think it'll make us feel better. But have you ever stopped to notice how you actually feel after the vent session is over?
Now, this does not mean you shouldn't vent or share problems with a trusted person who can help you problem solve or listen. I just wanted to share a helpful tip I learned in therapy. Since I stopped "venting" as much, my emotional reactions are better and I'm not as upset as often. I hope it helps you today. 🙂

Reprieve

#Migraine #HemiplegicMigraine I realized yesterday that I haven't had a migraine with aura since August 23rd, or at least, maybe I took medication once since then, and it worked. I have a lot of unexpected feelings about this.

Anxiety: what did I do that caused a reprieve in my near-constant migraines, and how do I figure out what it is so I can keep doing it?

Awe: I am not just having one good day where I get everywhere I meant to go. I feel restored, energetic, creative, and happy. Like a few weeks without pain have scraped away layers of exhaustion and emotional numbness. I did laundry and remembered to switch it. I helped my daughter organize her drawers. I didn't lie down after dinner; I socialized and took the dog out. I feel like parts of my mind that have been absent since my last reprieve are awake.

Grief: This feels like a peek at who I might have been without migraine.
