Migraines aren’t just headaches, they are like the burning metallic hand of the devil hammering not only on your head but your entire soul. Living with them isn’t easy and when people around migraine sufferers shrug it off as “just an everyday headache” you think to yourself “Jo iss dard se guzarta hai, sirf wohi jaanta hai”

Here are the things people with migraine can relate to:

1. It took you a while to figure out exactly what the trigger was

Is it the wind? Is the birds? Is it your best friend’s face?

2. And when you finally figure out your trigger, you develop a fear of that particular thing

3. The moment it begins, you want to crawl into a dark corner

4. Even someone breathing is a sound that can make it worse

5. You know if you don’t pop an aspirin before the episode, there will be no turning back

6. The moment when someone tells you to calm down, its JUST a headache

7. Light is your ultimate enemy

8. You can’t even look at your phone or laptop and you’re envious of everyone who can use their phones

9. You want to turn the whole world into BIG SILENT BLACK AND WHITE MOVIE

10. When people say ‘chai banwa lou, theek ho jaye ga”

Yaaaaaaaaar.

11. The days when NOTHING helps 

Just stab me already.

12. The nausea it brings

YE SIRF SIR KA DARD NAHI HAI DOSTO, YE ZINDAGI KA AIK DARD HAI 

13. Even certain smells make it worse…

Why would you wear that godawful perfume?

14. You just cannot handle people asking stupid questions about your migraine

15. But the moment you get through it, you feel like you have been REBORN

YAAAAAS @ life. Bring it on.

Tag someone you know who has terrible episodes and show them you care. :]
