I dunno what's going on...do you?
Doesn't feel like holidays to me, more like Holiduhs. This time of year is just a bummer for so many people. I think expectaions are too high for most. There's to much pressure for others.
Homes to be too perfect, food to be just right. Buy the right gift, have enough money
Spend enough time with the "right people". Don't want to offen anyone.
Then there are those who have to cope with chronic illness, chronic pain. Pain flare ups.
Worrying if a migraine attack is going to hit and ruin your plans. And of course because of all the stress, that is an added trigger.
I say, take a step back and look at what is important, your health. It has to come first. If you find yourself in moments of panic, or "spaced out", confused, anxious, it's a Holiduh moment.
Take care of yourself. Don't put all the pressure on yourself or others to expect everything to go perfect. There is no perfect. And be prepared. If you have to cancel a planned event because of a migraine attack, then that's reality. Prepare those around you that it is a real possiblity. And do not apologize if this happens. And do not feel guilty.
Relax, enjoy. But if migraine hits, then put yourself first. Here's wishing you all the best over the Holidays and hopes for no Holiduhs or migraine attacks!
