Share your migraine tips! I have a few that can provide relief for me, but I'm looking for more I may not have thought of.
Usually I will either eat fries and drink soda, have my boyfriend tell me a story to distract me from the pain, or turn the showerhead to the coldest setting and soak my entire head. Doesn't always work, but may cut the pain significantly. Painkillers don't work for my headaches, neither does sleep.
*I am seeing a therapist that specializes in OCD.*
I often have dreams that feel symbolically related to my fears and torment me. Before my dad died, I had many nightmares about it. It felt like they were designed to torture me.
Now I have dreams that make me feel like my relationship is doomed to end, and I wake up with a horrible sinking feeling of dread. I can't shake it. Even though I have a healthy and loving relationship. The OCD "voice" reminds me of the dreams before my dad died and tells me the worst of these as well. Convinces me of the worst case scenario, always.
I'm feeling very isolated in this experience ajd want to know if I'm alone in this - if anyone else has OCD around personal loss like myself.
