It's so hard when you have depression and a migraine with a severe prodrome and anhedonia at the same time. There was one day when I didn't think about death, but it seems that was a very short episode. Before that, I found out that the insurance company won't pay my family if I decide to end my life, because they won't let me get life insurance due to my diagnoses already being in the database, and they specifically account for cases like this. So I won't be able to pull off that trick. That upset me. #MentalHealth #Health #Life #Depression #Migraine #Thoughts #Blog #Fediverse #Anhedonia

Migraine overnight and unsure of its attribution. I had stayed away from all my normal triggers all week. 🙁 That leaves two physically-hard concrete driveway repair-work sessions Sat & Sun, air quality issues, plus a weather change overnight. Something in there pushed me into the pit. First hint was late afternoon. Oh well - meds are usually on top of it quickly. Such is life. #migraine #migraineur

An actually accurate piece on migraines, absent the woo that usually accompanies them. Need to get 'prodrome' in my lexicon in place of 'aura' (I thought they were one and the same) and 'postdrome' for the post-migraine fatigue. #migraine https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2026/jul/19/banging-headache-mysteries-migraine-treatments

So... no pain came. Whatever this was, it wasn't migraine. It's been going on for over two weeks now - not one long fall, but waves, with some dips going deep. And that's the cruelest difference. Migraine pain can be brutal, but you know with certainty that it ends. Every single time. This other thing has ended before too. I have the receipts, past episodes that passed. But knowing that and believing it are not the same. From inside, it feels permanent. The belief that it passes is exactly what it takes from you first. Migraine you wait out. This you have to get through without the faith that there's another side. #Migraine #Depression #MentalHealth #Thoughts #Blog #Fediverse

One of the more disorienting parts of living with both recurrent depression and migraine: you don't always know which one is starting. With migraine, at least the pain shows up - prodrome, then the hit, predictable as weather. With depression, it doesn't have to. Instead there's anhedonia, nothing landing anymore, and thoughts that aren't looking out for me. That's the actual difference. One hurts and ends. The other doesn't need to hurt to be dangerous. That’s where I am right now. #Migraine #Depression #Anhedonia #MentalHealth #ChronicIllness

Have any #migraine (or similar) folks had luck with cbd for pain? If so, what should I be looking for?
