#my mom: has a headache

[goldenstarprincesses]

There's this fanfiction I read some years ago (can't find it for the life of me. Think it was on fanfiction.net) that had the plotline that young Alfred was almost snatched by the vengeful ghost of Eleanor Dare since she was angered that her family/daughter died while Alfred -who had been Virginia Dare's playmate-lived on and would will continue live on for eternity

My headcanon is that prior to almost being led to his (likely temporary) death by a vengeful spirt, Alfred had no fears relating to the super natural. Even before Arthur showed up, America had long been visited by those who stayed behind after their death. And Arthur probably introduced him to quite a few friendly ghosts back in England. And even more ghosts started showing up as the colonists settled in. Baby America could often be found babbling at a seemingly empty room or to himself while playing out in the fields. Honestly, before Matthew moved in, the ghosts of New England were baby Alfred's closest companions

So not only was little Alfred naturally trusting of ghosts, but he knew Eleanor and saw nothing wrong with following her down to the icy cold river in the middle of the winter. When she attempted to drag him under the ice, not only did he develop a life-long fear of ghosts but the seeds of his dislike of the cold were planted.

He was so deeply traumatized by almost being offed by the pissed-off ghost of Eleanor that the chemistry of his brain was forever changed. But it's not that he can't still see ghosts. America totally can. Like, he sees them clear as day or as clear as Arthur or Matthew do. However, he refuses to acknowledge them. He could be standing in a room of 20 ghosts (some that he may have communicated with as a child) and he will stead-fast refuse to admit that he actually can.

#Has anyone seen the Ghost Whisper? Melinda's mom HATES ghosts and Melinda grew up thinking her mom was upset she could not see ghosts #like her mom and daughter could #Only for Melinda to find out her mom CAN see ghosts but that she was so freaked out by them/her family's gift that she blocked them out #which caused her to have horrible migraines #this is what i sorta have also based my thoughts on lol #Alfred 100% gets terrible headaches because he refuses to processes what his eyes and mind are seeing #hws america #nyo america #hws england #historical hetalia #hws #aph #alfred f jones #alfred jones #amelia jones #I saw Alfred but this also works for Amelia #aph england #arthur kirkland #hws canada #aph canada #matthew williams #headcanons #hetalia fanfiction

I love being T4T. My gf has been on estrogen for a couple weeks now and she's been having a rough time with her mood so I'm teaching her about the ancient art of soaking in a bubble bath with a little drink to sip while watching shows on your laptop

#pro-tip for any girls newly on E. this is The Cure for PMS #(which accurately describes what youre going through btw) #other great cures include putting on nice smelling lotion and fuzzy socks and wrapping yourself in a blanket burrito/nest #also eating lots of chocolate or other sweets and drinking your favorite caffeinated beverages #my mom used to always put on lotion and fuzzy socks and drink dr pepper and eat chocolate #my cousin likes to watch netflix in the bath with wine and then get in a blanket burrito with her favorite lemonade tea #if youve got someone to take care of you then you dont even have to come out of the burrito. you can just ask them to bring you things #all of these methods help a lot. we're experts on this you can trust me (family of people with endometriosis) #also if youre having headaches and bloating and stomach pain you might try midol (generic works fine) #it has acetaminophen for pain + caffeine for headaches (like excedrin) + antihistamine for bloating #also to clarify: i said girls newly on E only bc i figured girls who have been on it for a while might have already figured this stuff out #but PMS is by no means exclusive to transfems who have newly started on E #many transfems have reported getting PMS symptoms and even cramps on a monthly basis after being on estrogen for a while #this is bc after a while on E your body can start naturally making more estrogen and this can come with its own hormone cycle #and as a result you can essentially get all of the symptoms of a period just without the actual bleeding #(this can include cramps bc even in cis women the signals for the muscle spasms can sometimes get misdirected to nearby organs— #unfortunately causing stomach issues as well) #so if anyone out there happens to not already know this information and youve been feeling like shit periodically for seemingly no reason #now you know 😅 #its your period #rambling

Feeling like shitttt this morning y’all! Trying to work up the motivation to get out of my comfy sweater and comfy to take a nice hot shower!

#me #selfie #gots a headache #my mom has the twins tho #so I get some time to rest this morning

[beannary]

Ok so I was at work today and before I left my mom was like hey we’ll visit you at work today what time do you finish etc etc and she was like ok I’ll text you when we’re on our way and so I go the whole day being like I am waiting for a text from my mother saying that she my dad and my grandma are on their way to the museum and then it gets to the end of my shift and I have received no text so I’m like ok they clearly aren’t coming otherwise they would have let me know so I clock out and leave and ten minutes after my shift ended my mom calls me and is like hey where are you and I’m like hello??? I finished work??? I’m walking back to the car??? And she’s like ok well we are here and I’m like 🧍‍♂️ ok so I walk back to the museum and I get there and she’s like hey now we can go see the galleries together and I’m like 🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️ girlie last call happened ten minutes ago we cannot go see the galleries because the museum is fully closing in 30 minutes and she’s like oh I didn’t know that and I’m like yeah you should have looked it up?? Or like asked me??? Or like come when I was working my shift because then you can like guarantee that everything is open

Anyways I’m just annoyed and it’s not even that much of an annoying thing I’m just extra annoyed because I’ve had an awful headache all day and I had to do twenty minutes of extra walking around with my parents and my grandma after work when I should have been driving home and listening to a podcast

#bean babbles #also like #my mom was like oh I thought the museum closed at six #like girlie my day either ends at 4:30 or 5:30 #you know this #and when im working till 5:30 I have told her before that means that im closing #if I close at 5:30 #why would the museum be open till six #AND #she visited the museum a few weeks ago!!! #i told her!!! the time the museum closes!!! so she would have enough time to go through the galleries and see me at the store before #I finished working #anyways im like mildly annoyed at this #and more annoyed because of my headache #but I’m in bed now and my dog has finished attacking me #he gets so excited to see me after work that he like deposits himself on me and licks my face for like #ten solid minutes before he’s like ok im don’t being excited #I need to make some tea and get an Advil I swear to god #OK BYE WE ARE DONE COMPLAINING #COMPLIANING IS OVER

i dont know why but my computer has been giving me headaches lately. i didnt before but now i literally get headaches every single day after using my computer for a while. idk if its the computer itself or my headphones, but im getting headaches even with my volume lowered. but like its not like not using headphones is an option. my computer doesnt even have speakers. all i know is i can barely handle myself by the end of the day because my brain is exploding and i need to turn it off

#🧃 #i really wish i could depend less on my headphones but again 1. no speakers. 2. i share my house with my mother and whole family at all tim #3. i cant Not Listen to anything because my mom has her stupid tv on all day and THAT sure gives me headaches #im in hell

i actually love the comeback of bucket hats and mom jeans and big glasses and fanny packs and clunky shoes personally. i was born to dress like a dorky tourist from the 90s

#ever since middle school i have tried to follow trends and felt fundamentally like i qas doing it wrong and it didn't work when i did it #i couldn't pull it off it was forced and dumb even when i dressed and did my hair exactly like everyone else #so i gave up on being trendy bc it was never fun and didn't work #but i was so excited when mom jeans came back bc they're actually comfy then i saw cool fashionable people w fanny packs and i was like :0 #no way!! #then i found a cute floral bucket hat at goodwill and i was like hm why not and it actually rocks ngl #i finally got a new pair of glasses bc of headaches and i went ahead and got some big af 90s looking ones and they actually look good on me? #i know im lowkey dressing like a high schooler now but im finally having fun with my clothes and enjoying the way i look #also i got a haircut and its a bit retro and fun and finally my hair isnt in my face bc i tried bangs and i actually look nice for once #also the great thing abt the dorky 90s tourist style is its really practical and easy #like im comfortable and i have storage and my hair looks good no matter what with zero maintenance #i still dont wear makeup ever tho lol #but im glad there's finally a way to be fun and fashionable for lazy dorky people lol #i know some people complain abt the bucket hats and fanny packs and stuff but idc im having fun finally #this has been a shitpost

[wethecelestial]

they should invent a grief thats uncomplicated and purely cathartic to experience. has anyone thought of this before

#cw death #not to be ungrateful that when i get tired of 'feeling guilty abt putting off ur trip to go see family until the summer bc u didn't want to #have to deal w international travel over winter break and now ur grandma who u haven't seen in 8 years is dead' i can distract myself with #'being furious that your family wasn't going to tell u she died until u came home for the summer' or 'giving urself a headache abt whether #you're even allowed to be upset that she died when u grew up hearing stories abt how horrible she was to ur mom' or #'being irrationally and unfairly jealous that your dad has multiple siblings who could all take turns checking in on her and sitting with #her in the hospital bc u definitely will not get that when ur parents die' or 'getting paranoid abt how ur OTHER set of grandparents #might die and/or go fully blind before u get to see them (also for the first time in 8 years) this summer' #like. not to be ungrateful to have so much enrichment to choose from in my enclosure #but have we considered just like.....being sad. and that's it. #lmao literally as i was writing this my mom texted me 'it's already happened just move on' so BACK TO SQUARE ONE! #anyways like it's fine lol. we (obviously) were not close. and also she was a full 98 years old lmao like it was her time. #but also truly. what goes on lol

[bored-boring-and-tired]

this is a kinda long post that’s pretty much just me talking about weird headaches so i’m adding a keep reading for people who don’t wanna read that

also!! tw for mentions of (over the counter) medicines and taking them (in safe amounts aka what is recommended on the bottle) (not sure if this is triggering to anyone but just putting that there to be safe)

so i just found out that apparently not everyone hates light when they get headaches. like, if i have a headache, my screen brightness goes down, the lights get dim, and my curtains close because no WAY am i gonna make my head hurt more. i thought this happened to everyone?? also apparently i get headaches way more often than normal (at least once a month) and they last pretty much a few days at a time which is also apparently not normal?? (note: what i said about the frequency of the headaches and how long they last makes it sound a lot like it’s linked to periods, but most of the time when i get a headache i’m not even on my period 💀). and also i thought tylenol and advil and midol (acetaminophen/ibuprofen/general pain relief medicine) was only supposed to dull the headache for a few hours?? turns out its supposed to get rid of it most of the time?? i’ve had this headache all day yesterday and so far all day today (it’s 6:40 pm for me right now) and during that time period i’ve had about 6 or 7 doses of tylenol/advil (spaced out reasonably and safely!!) and two coffees (caffeine usually helps for me) and it still hasn’t gone away. i thought that was normal. [insert pained laughter]

#ahahahhshahshshhqusjwnw so fun #headache #my mom said i might have migraines since its genetic and she has them too #and i have a lot of the symptoms #but for a bit i have to keep track of my headaches so that we have data to tell the doctor so like they actually know what’s going on #may or may not update on this depending if i remember to

[nevalizona]

"Borrowed" (😉) some of my mom's perfume and of course picked the one that smells like old lady🫥 she has a handful to pick from. Should have just gone for my go to. This one's kind of headache inducing too...

#stevie.txt #text #im just not happy with any of my perfumes right now grrrrr (i dont have many at all and they are kind of similar so maybe that's the issue) #i really like this one my mom has called cherie by k*te sp*de like it smells so nice🫶 but i wanted to try something different and now look #i reek like old woman and im giving myself a headache. #learn from me- smell perfumes before you put then on sheesh #i just love perfume so much😭🥺 #i need to wear some everyday or i explode #i need to see what scent notes are in cherie and see if i can find another perfume with the same #or similar i guess dont gotta be a copy i guess lol

Ugh plans for disability pride month include I have a doctors appointment and maybe I’ll finally bring up my pain (horrifying, especially as a fat person and especially with a doctor who still hasn’t put me on my adhd meds I previously had yet. Maybe I’ll also ask about those because help.) trying to get a therapist and also. Making that phone call begging the state to not cut my assistance benefits and to believe me when I say i don’t work due to health + mental health reasons at the moment (negative hopes)

#starts throwing up hands on knees y’all believe me (they have no hope) #last time I tried to explain the only jobs that I’ve found will hire me are physical ones (no high school diploma) and #I can’t walk around Walmart w out getting nauseous and out of breath from back pain #and every job I’ve worked has been the same #w out the ‘well not every job is physical’ but I physically can not do a job where I need to be on my feet. I can’t accomplish standing on #my feet for over 2 hours w out yhe pain being all I can focus on and that rules out most jobs #and good luck finding an office job w no ged (I’m trying to work on this. part of why I’m trying to get a therapist + back on my adhd meds) #ik there’s call centers and stuff but 1-I don’t have phone service and 2 I have problems w #annoyingly #coherent thoughts sometimes and also not freezing up and stuttering or going silent when I get nervous #which interacting w customers makes me #also in the past they also haven’t called me back cause of the diploma thing #anyway sorry rant. #here’s hoping I can get some answer for my pain that’s not ‘you’re fat lolllll’ #chronic pain conditions run in my family #my grandma And at least one aunt. and my sister and my mom who has like 4 overlapping pain conditions #smiles #ack maybe I should also talk about the daily pounding headaches

Bro I don't know how to tell you this. But your mommy issues are showing way too much, I advise you seek out a hot therapist

Are you telling me i should fuck a therapist 💀 like the ‘hot’ part just really came out of nowhere- like, im down for that, healing my issues by getting railed by a hot therapist sounds fun.

Chances are it wouldn’t help tho because most therapists i see are like older women so i would totally just call her mommy 🤷‍♀️

#this was fucking hilarious #im sick again because i dont know how to dress for the cold (crop tops not good idea) #and reading that hot therapist part really took me out #i legit laughed so loud that my headache came back #great ask anon i love it #can yalls send more of these random ass asks cause they so fucking funny to me #yall want to know something fun #i am pretty sure i have had mommy issues since i was like a child and just didnt notice #i use to grow attached to my lunch ladies and wish they were my mom #how the fuck has my mommy issues gone from wishing women were my mom to #wanting to have a ‘mommy’ who fucks me? do we think its my hypersexuality merging with it? probably #going to find a hot therapist so we can talk about it while she rails me against her desk
