My experience-Rant: Feeling like a burden
I’ve been having a particularly bad patch with my chronic migraine and I’m currently waiting for my preventatives to arrive at the pharmacy, so I’m really struggling right now.
I’ve had a migraine all week and pushed through it to still go to work etc. but to say I’ve been miserable is an understatement. Today I called in sick to work as I just couldn’t do it. I feel utterly exhausted and have flu like symptoms, which I think is my bodies way of telling me to stop.
Well my boyfriend was pretty short with me this morning because I was ill and when he got home from work he was still in a mood with me. He then started talking about how he’s worried about the future, like basically me being able to keep a job, worried that we won’t be able to book holidays or make plans because I might get a migraine and not be able to go or enjoy it. Then he said he fell in love with the ‘well’ me and not the ‘ill’ me because I’m like a different person. That just about killed me.
Don’t get me wrong, I completely understand that it’s difficult and draining when the person you love is in pain all the time and you can’t do all the things you want to do together. Most weekends I just want to stay in because I’m recovering from being at work with a migraine all week, but he loves to get out and about. I compromise when I can and push through it, but I’m sure you all know how hard that can be.
I just don’t know what he wanted me to say in that moment? Like I’m more fed up than anyone of feeling this way all the time. I know I’m not myself anymore and I’m hyper aware of how different my life could be without this disease!
Now, I just feel like I’m going to have to just hide the pain from him as much as I can because what he said today and how he acted just made me feel like a burden and I feel bad enough as it is. I just don’t know what to do anymore.
I’m sorry for the rant, but I don’t have anyone to talk to and I know you all understand what it’s like.
