I have to look at this as an opportunity to learn what is beneficial to suffering. Yes, there is strength that is to be gained and incite into how others might live so differently from the average populous. Mostly it is the realization that the struggle to do every day tasks wasn't going to get easier and so I needed to adapt.
Adaptation:
We don't want to change. We want things to come easily and to not change is the most easy of them all choices. However, in my case if I still wanted to get in my car and go to a store there were adaptations that were needed to make this happen just as with many other activities in my life. At first it was a fight. I was angry. I felt like I would never again leave my house because it was so hard to TRY and find a way NOT to be in pain or have a migraine while out and about.
Eventually I realized some little tricks to the avoidance of migraine and pain.I was able to drive again and be in some stores for short periods. If you are a migrainer you know that travel in any moving vehicle isn't a good thing. Nausea and sometimes migraine/ pain accompany this ride.Part of my personal situation involves avoiding direct contact to florescent lights. A hat each and every time I go under them is needed. So, I wear it. It is part of my fashion now.
I attempted to do the same things I had as my previous self but I realized with sadness at first, and acceptance later, that I must adapt. These activities did not have to completely leave my life. A thing to be glad for.
