Controlling My Life All the Time

My migraine headaches control my life now all the time to the point where I have to call off of work a lot because they get so bad. I cry uncontrollably and can't get out of bed to take care of myself to do simple things like take a shower or make myself dinner.

Sometimes I just want to blow my head off because they hurt so damn bad. No one seems to want to help me with taking care of them. Anyway it seems when I get my periods MY migraines get the worst.

 
I want to control my migraines I DON'T want them to control me.
