My experience-Realized after years that my migraines are stress caused

---

Yeah I have like a zillion other things I associate with them (lights, etc) but when I dug deep under everything in therapy, it really is stress. Not the surface level visible "I've got so much to do" stress. In order to see the true source, I had to go even deeper. It's feelings of shame, anxiety, sadness, hurt. It's the "stress" in "distress", basically. Internal pain manifesting itself externally.

I would have sworn up and down that stress was not my issue. Wow, have I been proven wrong! I read the book "The Way Out" (which deserves its own post) and it changed the entire way I look at pain. My migraines decreased by over half following its introductions, and the ones I do have are clearly stress related. Addressing the stress actually works better most of the time than even taking medication, believe it or not.

Just wanted to share! Having one of my migraines at the moment - have had a bunch lately - but I can point very exactly at the stresses in my life causing it. And I know when I can get to my diary later and write about it, it'll retreat again.

(Also, working with a pain reprocessing trained therapist is amazing! That's the therapy they teach in The Way Out book. Been a game changer - I'll have to write a whole separate post about it at some point)
