Hello, I'm Teresa and my life a mess. I blog about having Crohns Disease, TV, puppies, pretty things and other random stuff.
living with mental illness is like,, everyone is going forward.. and I’ve made… the smallest of progress over two damn years… and sometimes, I’m even going backwards
3 weeks ago I was su*cidal, yesterday I was so happy I laughed for hours, I could be su*cidal again in 3 days…accepting the ups and downs and flowing with them is the only way we can survive

Songs with the same bpm but played over different than original video tracks give me life

So I was taught a lesson in how to get rid of a migraine in 30 seconds and omfg listen my migraines don’t go away ever but I was shown what part of my body to touch and like???????????????
It’s witchcraft????????? Like I would be burned at the stake if I lived in ye olde days knowing that information?????
What the fuck??????
Spill it! Lol….Hooooowwwww?? Had migraines since age 9….😓😓😓
Its called the T4 push, but I literally can’t find the info online????? I guess I’m not searching good enough? These medical fuckers are holdin out on us lol.
It’s best to have someone do this for you while you stand up and relax your muscles as best you can, but if you’re alone, a tennis ball and a flat surface will probably work. Alternatively you can lie on the edge of a bed at the pressure point. (But no really do try to find someone to do it for you)
Find the area in your spine between either the first, second, third, or fourth vertebrae. It should be sore and uncomfortable to press down on, so look for the one that’s most painful, and press down with as much pressure as you can on that area for 30 seconds.
Realize that 80% of your pain has magically disappeared and keep the info secret if you live in a small puritan town, lest you be tried for witchcraft.
If you don’t have to worry about being burned or hanged, then share the info with your migraine suffering friends.
As someone who wrote a 10k word paper on pressure points for a high belt ranking test in her martial arts class, I can tell you that you just found a pressure point used in acupressure and acupuncture to relieve pain, particularly that in the head. :)
Hand to god we discovered this by accident when my husband was rubbing my neck and I nearly collapsed it felt so good
This post was sent by literal angels??? I’ve had a persistent low-level headache for nearly 24hrs and now it’s gone??? In 30 seconds? What gods did you sacrifice to for this information!?!?
As a medical massage therapist, I thought I would give my two cents.
This is good for tension migranes and normal migraines, but actually pretty useless for sinus migraines. It’ll help for a hot second, but quickly come back. (These are usually the migraines behind your eyes, in your ears, and behind your forehead. Sometimes it can feel like jaw pain or TMJ) for sinus migraines, behind the ear in a divot. Press down firmly and pull towards your collarbone. That’ll drain your sinuses. Also, pressing around the eye socket on the cheekbones help. There is also a little triangle up away from the eye in the eyebrow bone. Press and hold pretty hard and that’ll relieve that behind the forehead pain. Also, ear pulling is great to help move sinuses around.
Don’t forget the temples too! Press firmly and hold. Open and close your jaw while holding your temples. It’ll feel weird, but it’ll help with jaw pain. It’ll work a similar way if you hold the jaw joint under your cheekbone.
And never underestimate the power of a foot massage!! Give minutes can be all the difference!! Our feet are our base. If they hurt even a little, somewhere else in your body will hurt. Treat your feet and sinuses kindly!
As a lifelong sufferer from frequent migraines I will reblog this everytime I see it, for myself and my fellow sufferers!!
I stumbled across the “eyebrow bone” trick way back in high school. To clarify: there’s an opening above the eye called the supraorbital foramen that’s basically an opening to let blood vessels an nerves out of the skull. For some people (but not everyone) it’s so low that the bottom isn’t closed off and it’s more of a notch in the top of the eye socket (aka a supraorbital notch). I don’t know if putting pressure on it works because you’re altering blood flow or because you’re stimulating the nerve or what, but my discovery of it was a godsend.

able bodied mentally ill people have an idea of how physically disabled people are treated in their day to day lives that im convinced was gleaned only from watching how temporarily ill/injured people are treated in television shows about absurdly tight knit friend groups
honestly how far removed from the reality of physical disability do you have to be to assume that the experiences of the average chronically ill person include friends regularly bringing you dinner at home & offering to take you to doctors appointments instead of bombarding you with ableist microagressions & gradually disappearing from your life out of frustration that you’re not cured yet. there’s a reason we tend to (disgustingly) laud anyone who treats a disabled person with a modicum of respect as a hero
