A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

A bad headache really is among the worst things one can experience. I luckily almost never do. It's the only thing I've ever experienced that I could imagine leading to suicide were it to be chronical with no cure. Not even a bad depression has made me imagine that.

I'm that person with chronical headaches/migraines

It sucks but unfortunately after a while you just kinda get used to it.

I do what I can to minimize the amount of time I'm out of commission.

Shit sucks...but I'm still here

Dang, I'm in the same boat. Botox injections have started helping, but there's usually several weeks at a time where every day I have migraines. If I didn't have to help with kids and family, I'd probably just be in bed half the day. But, as you said, you just get used to it.

Wishing you relief, internet friend!
