This Actually Really Works

Don’t forget to share us to your friends

word?

these are good things

but sometimes you just get migraines and your brain goes LOL LET’S MAKE YOUR LIFE A LIVING HELL FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS for no actual reason so here are some helpful tips if you get one of those:

– when it starts hurting, TAKE PAIN KILLERS. something with caffeine in it helps the most. like i’m serious. the second you think “oh maybe i’m getting a migraine” take something and then do the following

– burrito in a comfy blanket in a super dark silent room. you’re going to want to stay on tumblr. fight that urge. don’t watch tv, don’t check your phone, no bright lights. they hurt.

– super magical migraine cure: put a couple scoops of mint chocolate chip ice cream in a blender with some white milk and some chocolate milk. blend till it’s all nice and drinkable. if you’re like me and love whipped cream this is also a good excuse to have some of that. but actually, somewhere between the caffeine from the chocolate, magical mint properties, and the fact that it’s really cold in your mouth helps your brain calm down. trust me.

– drink some coke, the shot of caffeine helps. idk why. brain science.

– nom on some potato chips. i know that sounds really weird but chewing something like chips (slowly!) helps my face muscles relax. tension makes things worse.

– ICE PACKS ARE YOUR BEST FRIEND. when you’re in pain, putting super cold things on those nerves overrides the pain signal and makes your brain just think you’re cold instead of hurt. it’s science. put them on your neck or your forehead or the top of your head, wherever you’re feeling tension and pain.

– if it’s coming from super tense neck muscles (i get those) or your neck is sore at all, rub like ben gay or icy hot on the back of your neck. helps soothe the muscles and calm down your head.

– also if it’s a migraine from sore neck muscles, adjusting the way you sit/lay down could help. just move around until you find a comfy position that helps you feel better.

these are just the things that i do, i learned pretty much all of it from my mom cause she gets terrible migraines too. also if anyone else has tips that work for them please add on 🙂 yay headache relief

Caffeine helps because it restricts blood flow to your brain slightly, same with ice at the base of your neck! migraines are caused by too much blood in your brain at once and overstimulates everything at once!

If you can, and have the time

take a nap.

Not a fifteen-minute, dozing-off catnap, but a nap. Between an hour or two. When you wake up, your headache will be a lot better, if not gone entirely. I get migraines all the time, and napping for an hour and a half always makes them better. I might not work for everyone, but hey, any reason to take a warm nap, right?

Hey kids, I was diagnosed with chronic migraines when I was 13. Some things that I’ve learned over the years:

1. As SOON as you start feeling a migraine, take a painkiller. Advil migraine is what I take. Drink a BIG glass of water with it. Maybe two. Most migraines come from dehydration.

2. If you take your painkiller and drink your water and still feel the migraine coming on after about 30 minutes, drink something with a lot of caffeine. Coke or coffee.

3. If your migraine still isn’t subsiding or is getting worse, take a nap in a dark room. I close all my blinds, place a mask over my eyes, and turn on some quiet classical music. Take deep breaths and try to relax.

4. If all else fails, use a migraine medication. I’ve been on high blood pressure medication for six months now and I haven’t had a migraine in four. I was also prescribed Sumavel (a sumatriptan injection) for when I do get my migraines, because I can’t even keep water down if they get too bad.

Take care of yourselves loves!

in addition to this,learn your signs that tell you a migraine is coming. Pain is not usually the primary sign. In most cases, a cue will be: Sudden poor or auras in  vision,

nausea,

odd sensations like a sudden feeling of tightness all around you

Sudden poor hearing or hearing things that aren’t there,

a severe and sudden restlessness,

and quite a few others 

Not everyone is the same, but knowing and getting used to what to expect for yourself is an indispensable asset when dealing with migraines. Reason being is that you can set up your triage of comfort first before the wretched pain starts.

Pretend ur invasive self hating thoughts r being said to u by a 13 y/o boy on xbox live trying to get a rise out of you like
“Your girlfriend dumped you because you’re ugly”
that’s nice tim isn’t it past ur bedtime

also, if you have intrusive violent thoughts, pretend they’re being said to u by an annoying backseat driver

“drive into that pole”
thanks karen or i could not do that

Perfect

you can also pretend that the Super Paranoid thoughts are being said by that conspiracy theorist in your history class

“maybe they poisoned you”
maybe you should fuck off, geoffrey-with-a-g

OHH MAN I DO THIS SHIT EVERY DAY

My favorite for intrusive anxious thoughts is to pretend Spock’s behind you with an answer.

“did I lock the door-”

captain you have locked the door every day for over ten years, and it is very hard for most people to break even subconscious habits, so you most definitely locked the door

I told my new psychiatrist about how I learned this from y’all and his eyes lit up. He didn’t smile but he did nod a whole bunch of times, it was great.

I like to pretend that my intrusive thoughts are being said to me by a super uptight religious white lady

“god hates you because you don’t believe in him”
“your failures are too great to be forgiven by anyone”
“everything you do is wrong and you are going to burn in hell”

thanks for the input brenda but fuck right off

I would just like to say that I love you all for this idea.

This is potentially life saving information everyone should know.

No you guys this post helped me find my cat. He was missing for almost a month and I’ve had him for over 12 years. After seeing this I put his favorite blanket he always slept on outside hoping he would smell mine or his scent and he was back the next fucking day asleep on it.

When my cat got out, we called and called for him, and then, later that night, I remembered similar advice to this, and so put his little scratching pad, which he adores, on the front porch. Not even half an hour later, I heard a thump, opened the door, and there was his big butt, meowing at me.

Important and vital

I don’t care that I reblogged this today I’m reblogging it again

Thank you for this.

Boys vs. Men

twshitlord:

Tumblr has a preoccupation with calling basically every male entity a “boy,” and I regularly see lots of younger trans kids who are self-described “trans boys” or “cute gay boys” or whatever have you. That’s all fine, but I just want to make it really clear:

Starting testosterone won’t make you into a pretty anime boy. It’ll make you into a hairy, sweaty, acne-covered man. You will smell like a man, your voice will drop like a man’s, and the people around you will perceive you as man, not a boy.

If you don’t actually have interest in becoming a man, then you might ask yourself about your motivations to transition. I encourage all of you to think beyond your twenties or thirties, and think about how you will feel about being a man in his forties, fifties, sixties…

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to be an attractive young man, but transition is a decision that can affect you for the rest of your life.

Save a life

Totes good data.

The part of this I don’t like is “they will most likely move on to an easier target.” Like I’m supposed to feel fine about someone else with a less sturdy door getting ripped off?

Change your neighbor’s screws too

So… I recently discovered I am Bisexual (cause I mean, I fucked a dude) and since your real level headed and shit, I wanted to ask you advice, how does one come out to friends and family with this? Cause I’ve literally been Straight White Guy like my whole life until now.

sad-white-boy:

Coming out is more of a process, rather than a solid step. In fact, I’m still in the process (it’ll take you a while). And as everyone knows, if you’re coming from a religious family, things can get dicey (in my case, it’s that, plus an additional complicated element). So, my foremost advice is to not rush it. Plan it out, based off your comfortability.

By process, I mean there are phases. You first come out to your the group of people you’re closest to (in my case, it was my friends). Then you move onto the next group, like your family. You then enter the public stages: coming out to co-workers, peers, eventually to random people, etc. You get the idea. Remember: i’s a transition. It’ll take some time, but the result is worth it—and necessary.

There’s no easy way to do it, but here’s my advice: come out first to people you KNOW will support you. Having a support system is key, as it keeps you from spiraling too far, should things turn out as the worst-case scenario. Simply knowing you have a fallback, or a person to talk to, helps with your mental health as well. Coming out can be very stressful, so that’s an issue you must keep in mind.

Hope that helps 🙂
