I've had it

I'm at a very low place. Just when I thought I'd made progress. For about 4 months I've been living a very healthly lifestyle, and that has helped curb the migraines. Well the ADHD people in my family take it as instantly "cured". "You are fine". "Thought you cured that". NO, I will still have a breakthough migraine, especially with this weather, especially when I'm in a car and someone is driving like a maniac, texting, video chatting, and trying to do everything but drive. This UV Sun we have this summer has been brutal. So I'm not being told "I'm ok, quit whining", it's "why don't you hang upside down in your closet like you do all day". I'm a 60 year old mother of four grown children. I really ramped up a healthy lifestyle (took a food intolerance test, exercise, etc), as daughter is due with baby boy in a month and I will be the day care full-time. Well, trying to help her clean yesterday, she sticks me in the bathroom full of chemicals, and a migraine hit my like a ton of bricks. Went home, husband helped her. He came home and said "don't ever complain to her again, she is so mad - said you a whiney and she doesn't want you babysitting". Now...my daughter had messaged me about an hour before my husbands verbal lashing saying she was sorry she was so upset (hormones) and we were ok. Then my husband says this, like he wants to cause strife or take my migraine situation out on me. My son is always teasing me too. I'm not in a good place, I mean, if we are "useless", why are we even around? I guess what makes me mad is I was 4 months free of a down and out migraine by my own healthy practices, get one because of the weather and being a passenger in a crazy driving situation which caused severe nausea, being in a room full of chemicals, and BOOM, besides the pain of the migraine, the mental pain and hurt is almost worst. It was like my husband was taunting me. And I'm so tired of being teased, made fun of, told how I don't do anything. Can anyone else relate? Two weeks ago I just put on a shower of all baby showers for her too, basically by myself, as help was not available (husband was working, one son helps as he can but gives me such a hassle I hate to ask). Just hurts. Feel like giving up. Sorry for the pity party. -Lisa
