[quote=Anonymous]I get debilitating migraines once or twice a week and have been working with a neurologist to try to address but I just do not feel I can go back to work full time until I can figure it out. It sucks. I'm bored at home, plus often in pain and dealing with nausea and other side effects. Sometimes even just getting my kids to school or picking them up is a huge challenge.

Sometimes, to cheer myself up, I'll post a photo of my kids or some art project we did or a picture from a recent vacation or outing to social media. Or just a comment about something cute one of them said or some anecdote about parenting. It helps me to focus on the good part of my life right now and I also appreciate getting likes and comments from people because I am SO LONELY and have no one to talk to because all my friends are working (even the ones who used to SAHM with me before our kids were in school). Sometimes I call my DH but of course he is working and I can't dominate his time.

My life is not awful -- I am safe and we are okay financially (though will be much better when I can return to work), my kids are happy and healthy, and I have every reason to believe that I will solve my health issues and this will be just a transitional period I look back on with mixed feelings one day. But my life is also not easy nor is it even what I want it to be at the moment. Yesterday I interviewed for a part-time remote job with flexible hours that I think I could do even with the migraines, since it's only 10-15 hours a week. I hope I get it and it resolves some of my boredom and loneliness.

Anyway, if my social media posts are triggering you, I guess I am sorry but I am posting them for me. They don't really have anything to do with you. I hope you find something that helps you to feel more happy in your own life.[/quote]
