so today i had to leave work
aside from the *other* stress related health things that started on monday
around 1pm i got the worst migraine in my life
i usually get them once every few years and they're just - bad but whatever
this kicked my ass
from 1 until 3 i tired so hard
drank water, ate food
but kept getting the room darkening things, dizziness and vertigo that precede the pass out
really didn't want to be that kind of drama at work
at 3 iwent into the staff lounge to just try and feel better
our CFO saw me and asked if i was ok, she gets migraines too so gave me some excedrin migraine
i waited until 3:30, went and got cash and took a cab home
i have never felt so awful
needed help getting up the stairs and crying from the head pain
cold compress and water and finally an hour or two of sleep in a dark room
and by seven i had only a really bad headache
instead of a migraine
and the headache is still there
but at least the pain made me realize that i needed to pull back where i can
and try to agree to do less stressful things
