maybe wander around the house/stretch a little if you’ve been sat at the computer a while (artists especially: sTRETCH THOSE WRISTS)
reply to that text/message from earlier you’d forgotten about
maybe send a nice lil message to someone having a bad day?
I just would like to thank everyone who ever reblogs this so that it somehow ends up back on my dash because I usually need the reminder (especially the drinking water one)
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!!
Just wanted to add, there is a pressure point between your thumb and pointer finger that, when firmly pressed and held for 30 seconds, can greatly reduce pain and nausea from some migraines. I do this every time I have a migraine, and 4/5 it works to alleviate the symptoms for a significant (1+ hours) amount of time. It is super easy to perform and has been magic for my pain.
Take your thumb and pointer finger from your left hand and grab the muscle between your pointer finger and thumb on your right hand. Apply constant, firm pressure to the muscle and hold for thirty seconds. If it is working for you, you should feel the pain in your head reducing within the first 5-10 seconds with the most significant reduction in symptoms occurring around 20-25 seconds. After thirty seconds reduce pressure slowly and release.
I hope this helps some of my fellow migraine sufferers!
I am prescribed deep tissue massage for my shoulders and neck specifically because of my migraines. Not that insurance can afford it, but still.
Fuck anyone who says I have to forgive everyone, “for my sake.” I worked hard for this anger. I worked hard to love myself enough to hate them.
Shit, yeah, this is a thing that is hard to articulate. Some people don’t feel healed by forgiving the people who hurt them, because that’s what they kept doing over and over and it only led to getting more hurt. Sometimes you feel healed when you’re finally brave enough to say “This person was horrible to me, and I did not deserve that treatment, and I don’t have to be okay with it.”
A step you should follow, though: Remember to forgive yourself.
It isn’t your fault you were treated that way. It isn’t your fault that you fell for their lies, or that you believed their empty promises. It’s okay if it took you a long time to get out of that terrible situation even after people told you to get out, or that you knew you should. You’re not a bad person for doing what your abuser demanded.
You didn’t do anything wrong. Forgive yourself, and fuck them.
Sometimes abuse survivors come out as teeth and claws and anger in the name of vengeance and defense and protection.
Sometimes survivors come out soft and warm and gentle in the name of never making anyone feel the way they were made to feel.
Sometimes you want to avoid us because of our newfound venom or be by us for we will protect you, with violence if need be.
Sometimes you want to avoid us because we are soft and you risk harming us or be by us for we will be kind and welcoming and assuring.
But here’s the thing. We are almost always found together. We work well. Venomous ones protect soft ones, and soft one remind the venomous ones to unclench jaws and take time to be gentle. There is value in both. There is validity in both.
Me? I am fire and ice and venom. Fangs glistening and clawed beared. Hurt the ones I care for beyond their own lashing out? I am a viceral nightmare. My sister is better at holding back. She thinks, I don’t. I react. But don’t think for a second she won’t destroy you.
And somehow I came out as both.
Part of me came out of my abuse soft and scared and kind.
And part of me came out with teeth and claws and anger and rage.
And now I’m left trying to balance the two sides so I don’t fall apart.

^Haiku^bot^8. I detect haikus with 5-7-5 format. Sometimes I make mistakes.
he is the binturong and he smells like buttered popcorn. i know that sounds like a joke or a funny lie but they actually smell like buttered popcorn because of their musk or something like that
ever get the feeling god has favorite animals
binturongs are also known as bearcats. they live in trees but aren’t nimble so they move with extreme caution and seems unsure of everything always.
they spend 99% of their time just doing this
Bearcats are my absolute favorite animal
it’s been so long since I last arted, so instead have a meme.
