migraine + bad low = sick and hungover

A lifetime of (SH)it
I DON’T UNDERSTAND ANXIETY! but I DO get anxiety (what it is) and I GET anxiety. I get it and struggle with it every damn day. What the hell is it? It’s not even real. It’s like a made-up thing with an irrational basis. How can something that doesn’t make any sense be so debilitating? … Read More
