#tw migraines

[kiame-sama]

Those who say "Femininity isn't a curse" are the ones that don't have to deal with the heart-attack painful cramps from menstruation. I- very unfortunately- fall into the latter category and curse the existence of a womb every time my cycle rolls around and decks me with the migraine-cramp combo just to double-knee me into the ground disrespectfully with the fainting levels of bood loss and iron deficiency wombo-combo, ending in a 4x damage from a 4am shift start at work.

It'll be okay.

Pairing: Chris Evans x daughter!reader

Summary: Y/N started a new job and has started getting bad migraines. Chris just wants to be there for his daughter.

Warnings: Migraines, reader breaks down, lots n lots of fluff.

Word count: 615!

A/N: This was requested by the lovely @chrisevansdaughter ! Definitely one of my favorite things I've ever written :) Hope you're having a good day, lovelies!

You were having a very stressful day. Honestly, in your opinion, it was more like a stressful week. You'd just started a new job, and it was..well, one of the most difficult things you've ever done. Your new boss was pretty mean, and even though you knew he'd warm up to you after a while, it was still hard to get through. As a result of this, you were getting less sleep in order to prove yourself to him. In the span of a week, you've gotten about 16 hours of sleep. Almost every minute of your waking hours was spent working on your computer or at the office, and Chris knew it. It was starting to show in the way you acted, spoke, even walking looked slightly concerning to him.

You knew that as his daughter, you didn't even have to work-the money he got from his consistent acting roles was well enough to keep you both afloat for as long as you needed. You'd turned 18 half a year ago, and you just couldn't help feeling that without a job you were just using him.

As a result of the stress and constant lack of sleep, you'd started having really bad migraines. It was something you've had before, but it was never this bad. You'd have at least two a week, and they were unbearable. Your dad was very concerned every time you had one, insisting you quit your job and let him provide for you. Each time you refused, even through tears. You continued to push yourself through everything, and it hurt Chris to know that he couldn't do anything except be there for you when it got bad.

As a result of a particularly bad day, you laid on your bed with a cool cloth over your face to block out the light. When they got this bad, all you could do was take some pain medication and lie down, waiting it out. This was how your dad found you when he got home, and the sight immediately made his heart hurt.

As soon as he realized what was going on, he jogged to the kitchen to grab you some water and a blanket. Coming back into your room with the supplies, he laid the blanket across your shivering body and softly grabbed your hand.

"It's alright, Y/N. I'm here. I've got you." He turned the room light off and closed the blackout curtains, removing the cloth from your eyes so he could see your face. His heart once again felt too heavy;your face held clear pain and he wanted to cry.

"How bad is it this time, baby?" he asked you, making sure his voice was soft. Your eyes filled with tears at the pure love in his eyes, a sob escaping you.

"Oh honey," he whispered, pulling you into his arms. You curled into his chest, letting yourself fall apart for the first time since you started the job.

You cried for what felt like hours, your dad holding you through it. He cradled you tightly, whispering loving encouragement as he rocked you back and forth. Eventually, your sobs ceased to hiccups. Finally relaxing in your dad's loving arms, he planted a kiss on your forehead.

"Please quit the job, my love. It's stressing you out so much. It's so hard to see you like this when I can fix it. Please, baby. I love you, Y/N." he murmured.

Unable to keep resisting, you nodded your head. Sleep threatened to take you right then and there. You finally let it. Your last thought was that your dad was the best person in the whole world.

Migraine

Sometimes my head aches

Sometimes it hurts and makes my hands shake

Bright lights, loud sounds

This pain just won't go down

Some days the word ache is like a dream

Some days it hurts so bad I can't see

Stabbing pain, vision blurred

Feeling sick, my words are slurred

I find myself in the shower

Tears run along water for hours

lose track of time, lose track of hope

Go to sleep, dream of rope

sigh i need a hug

Something has to be said about the soothing nature of spiritual music. Perhaps it bears some research to be done into it. Because speaking from experience Achyutam Keshavam and Om Jai Jagdish Hare help me reduce migraine pain even when medicines do not work.

cw suicide, migraines

I read one of Nikki Reimer's most recent poetry chapbooks from over/ground press and was moved to write this in response

For Nikki Reimer a fractal dragon dancing, an arrangement of bright triangles morphs into bleaching, then sparkles on water at sunset darkness again, maybe a brown patch here and there the winds of grief push past the unlatched doors of psyche mind those arrhythmic bangs and reverb-a verb-a verb grief being the verb we ask to play nice  and just be still for once and be a noun christ at his eyewindow seeing into us is an idealization i long for someone who can see my grief without grieving without making me carry more grief without the competition, weighing the bucket of tears, noting the apportionment of spoons adding to the exhaustion and bitterness the lapsed friendships, the cold phone the not putting up or taking down of things lost    all the connection points to a smiling past    went with them. celebration of life?  my ass, he’s dead. rooms miss him, not just people the walls miss his voice shaking the dust off over time my migraines swing wider and wider from normal; tricksy, manifold, hardly ever painful unhelpful / unpredictable experiments the phony scientist is in the house   the first was worst; that this  happy scream toward roller                                             coaster                                                          death was all just bits and flashes of unruly light, trapped above my mouth with no exit but self slaughter? that was rough on my people. it was horrifying, and salutory. my brain’s never been right. but now everyone knows that I am inseparable from these invisible attacks i like my brain, but i can’t trust it, and i like how you don’t trust yours either. ice in a sieve sometimes, but do it right, and the poem gets up and dances away

Okay so I may have been struggling under a miscommunication issue

[thebibliosphere]

Have you ever vomited so hard you not only wrecked your throat but dislocated your collarbone?

How about a migraine so bad it triggers your mast cells into a pre-anaphylactic reaction and you start breaking out in hives all over your body?

Yeah. Me neither until 4 o’clock this morning.

New level of hell unlocked.

And the migraine is still ongoing. I’m just no longer blind and dry-heaving.

I hate this.

I just read your yandere!Vox post and I just wanna ask how you think Vox would respond if his Darling had severe migraines after he used his hypnosis on them?

Just curious x.x love your work!

(Howdy! Thank you so much❤️❤️❤️also, 500 NOTES IN TWO DAYS?!?! YOU'RE ALL ARE THE BEST!! LOVE YA!)

Answering the question, I think Vox would not realize what is happening at first. Yes, he notices that when Darling loses the hypnotic effect out of nowhere they get a severe headache, but at first he thinks it's because he overloads them with too much work (being his assistant isn't easy after all). so he (forces)make them take a few days off, he spoil and pampers them so that the pain goes away, etc. He is NOT a big fan of give Darling medication bc well, Val can be nearby...

I think it would take two to three times until Vox realizes that it is because of HIS hypnotic powers that Darling is having such painful migraines. So he finds himself in a dilemma.

This situation is quite the predicament. On the one hand, his hypnosis is a VERY useful tool to avoid conflicts or make Darling stay with him longer, but on the other hand he wants to make Darling HAPPY, comfortable, cozy, in his own way of course. and honestly he feels somewhat guilty for making them be in a state of pain like that.

(Believe me, I have diagnosed migraines. It's like having your head drilled from the inside out).

I think it also depends on the type of Darling. If Darling falls more into the voluntary category and Vox can dissuade them from leaving with his natural charm, then he stops using hypnosis on them permanently. period. After all, why cause them pain unnecessarily??

If Darling falls more into the category of rebel or, well, they want to maintain their freedom, then Vox may use hypnosis as a method of punishment, after all he wouldn't have to use hypnosis if they did what he says(his more condecending side comes to light).

If it's 50/50, then he only uses hypnosis if necessary(like, when Val is where). but it does not prevent him from using other methods such as blackmail, threats, kidnapping, etc, to make Darling stay with him.

For Darling's sake, I hope they fall into the first category....

(thanks for the question honey!! have a nice day!)

re:

Having subjective symptoms is very isolating because there is no way for others to witness what you're going through. They just have to trust you and you have to trust them to believe you. I know everyone in my life believes it, but they don't get it. I expressed to my therapist that I feel that all of these symptoms begin rattling around in my head and it creates a barrier between me and others.

My world: hurting, trying not to show it, coping with pain, fearful, etc

Their world: normal, uneventful, happy evening

It's very difficult to have something happening to you that nobody else can see.

Yeah, you could say she's a little mad
