Hello! So I'm 15 and I struggle with very intense migraines. I've been having them since I was really little (like somewhere between 3-7), and I've been diagnosed for a while. I recently have been seeing a neurologist, and he put me on new meds. I feel like I'm not being taken as serious as I hoped. and tips would be nice, especially for when school starts up again and my adhd/anxiety gets worse. <3

      my migraines got to their worse doing high school, it sucked ass. I would just just let my teacher know and go to the nurse to lie in a dark room until it got better. dark room always helps me, but I'd also use my hoodie as a blindfold to block out even more light. lowkey messed up but the number one thing i did to get help in school was just be a really good student in the beginning, showing the teacher you actually care and stuff. I felt like they took me more seriously that way, and were nicer when i didnt do the accomodations right. I think making it feel like theyre meeting you halfway is the big thing. As for doctors not taking you seriously (if thats what you meant), just be assertive about your symptoms and dont be afraid to push for the next step/specialist or whatever. I had a misdiagnosis that took years to fix, and i had to push to get taken seriously that the treatments werent working after blaming myself for too long. Good luck! rember, most people are too worried about being judged to actually judge you back. Try not to beat yourself up too much. I hope your meds work out, my anxiety got a lot more manageable when i got my other disorders under control and meds really helped with that.
