Depression and Migraines

LucklessCat June 10th, 2016

I don't know. I can't tell if my depression is worse because I have migraines... or if my migraines are worse because I have depression :/

Both are pretty bad right now...

I'm so sorry you're having a bad migraine right now. I did a search and you're absolutely right. Migraines and depression can be linked. I found this article on it: The Link Between Chronic Migraine and Depression

I hope you feel better soon. Maybe try to put a cold face cloth on your forehead and lay down? It may help. In any case, here's a cute animal gif to cheer you up! Take care heartxx

I'm sorry you're going through both depression and migraines right now. I know how tough it can be. You're doing a great job holding up the fort. :D I was also suffering from migraines the whole of last month and I found acupressure to be helpful. Here's a link to acupressure sites you can stimulate: http://www.newhealthadvisor.com/Pressure-Points-for-Migraines.html

You basically just put pressure on those points with a finger or two for a minute or so. You can also try this yoga video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6baVS5cCxQ

As you can tell, I don't like drinking medicine haha. If you're drinking antidepressants right now, certain painkillers may have interactions with them. It would be best to consult your doctor first before you drink anything. :)

I hope that was helpful. Feel better soon!
