I'm so tired of living like this. I'm 22 years old and I'm always sick .. migraines all the time .. this is affecting my life and my surroundings . My work, my family and my friends. i just don't know what to do anymore i have no control over my life or my health i feel like a prisoner in my own body.

Its hard because i feel like I've let down everyone and Iv especially feel like I've let myself down. i haven't had a family doctor in 2 years and I've been on a waiting list this whole time . i have to spend hours in the emergency room ( which is torture when you have a migraine ) only for the doctors to tell me EVERY TIME. that they cant do anything because i need a family doctor to do follow ups. this is causing me infinite stress and even depression .

i don't know what to do anymore i feel like no one believes me , no one cares and no one wants to help , im tired of my life being migraine =stress. stress=migraines . failure , disappointment, and pain . i know people go through things that are much worst and hard and im not trying to make anyone feel bad for me . im just tired , exhausted and drained. im trying to push foward but i just cant seem to accomplish that. this has been going on since i was 13 :(
