I feel this so much. And up until yesterday, I was honestly feeling completely out of control, wanting to just walk away from everything, having no idea what to do, feeling just terrified.

Also, the killer headaches is a major thing for me. I get more and more migraines, and meds will work for a while and then not. We keep trying new things, but I keep getting more migraines. I'm on this facebook group of fellow migraine sufferers, and a lot of them are fully disabled at this point. I'm so scared I'm going to end up there.

I really, really hope things get better for you soon, nonny. I really, really do. All the sympathy.

Similar but different, I've been dealing with mysterious chronic pain for the past few years and it's getting worse. I was just thinking today that I am very lucky in my job because I have periods in the day where I can just lay down and curl around a heating pad and not be productive for 30mins, and if I had any other job I think I would have been fired because the pain flares are so bad I don't know how I'd be able to do "normal" work through them. I don't know how other people do it, be it the pain I get or migraines or whatever. It is awful.

I'm so sorry, nonny. I feel you on being lucky in your job. Thankfully my office is not very bright, and I have an app on my computer that can dim that light. So when I have a bad headache I can just put ice on my head, ear plugs in my ears, and just focus on doing what I can..

I really hope they can figure out what is going on and why you have the pain. And I hope you can find some relief. That sounds so awful.

"And up until yesterday, I was honestly feeling completely out of control, wanting to just walk away from everything, having no idea what to do, feeling just terrified."

I feel that so much. It's just hard to stay calm when all of your options seem pretty bad and there's not even an obvious lesser evil to choose.

Up until recently, I would've said that I've never experienced a real migraine. Bad headaches, sure. But migraines sounded so much worse and I was certain it had never been that bad for me. But last month I had this headache that was so bad I felt light-headed and dizzy, and - a new thing for me - it also came with a light sensitivity issue. I had to lie down in a darkened room. It's never been that bad for me before. I'm hoping that is a one off kind of thing.

I hope things get better for you, too. Did I see yesterday where you got a good job offer with a raise? Congratulations!

Ugh, so sorry. Yes, with the light sensitivity and dizziness, that definitely sounds like a migraine. I really hope it is a one-off for you.

And yes, I got a good job offer. Well, first I got one from a former employer who I had a bad experience with which sounded good but really wasn't. But then yesterday I got a great offer from my current employer. My supervisor is leaving, and I'm getting a 10k raise to take over his job.

Re: migraine - I was afraid of that. So far it hasn't happened again, but now I kind of know what that feels like. I know it wasn't even a really severe migraine, but it was bad enough.

That is excellent news, both the raise AND the promotion!
