Migraine Vs Headache? Mood

Friday, May 16, 2008 | A Frustrating story

Does any one find it hard sometimes to have sympathy for someone who has a minor headache while you're suffering from a migraine? I.E. I am not belittling othe branches of service and i understand to have a soldier away is hard, but when your husband is gone for 15-18 months, and someone is having a hard time with a 3 month deployment...? I mean every one goes through bad times but right now i am stuck in the middle of no where with a brand new marriage and husband that is gone and a ton of marital problems due to it. And on top of it my father is ill with cancer in Wisconsin...too far away from where i'm at. I feel like my situation is a continuous migraine and sometimes have a really hard time giving others words of encouragement because i'm so unhappy. Im not trying to be selfish at all. Is what i'm feeling completely wrong?

Hey, you dont know me ChinookWife, but what about you go visit with someone while your hubby is away. Then you wont have to be on your lonesome. What about your ill dad, or someone else. Its not wrong to feel the way you do, humans are social animals like other animals, we need to have human interation. Try visiting, hope it makes you feel better. Or, what about if someone comes visits with you (if you like have kids or animals to look after). Just a few thoughts from me.

i don't think you are selfish...i just think you aren't sure how to deal with all of this, which is understandable. some people are stronger than others, and maybe you are stronger than most. i dunno...but i think you should try to bond with the women that are going through the same thing you are. maybe it will help... i dunno.
