Anyone who has ever had a migraine knows how different they are from regular headaches. Sure, there is the pain, sometimes throbbing, sometimes dull, in the head region, but there's also the vision problems, the nausea, the sensitivity to light and sound, and the auras. And not the kind of “aura" that Gen Z is always talking about on TikTok. No, these auras are dirty little tricks of the mind, hallucinations, and harbingers of bad times . And the tough thing with migraines is that there's no cu…

Life is like a game of dodgeball, but instead of rubber balls, it's throwing neuroses, depression, existential crises and responsibilities at us. And let's be real, we're all getting hit left and right. Take me, for example. I'm currently juggling more responsibilities than a circus clown with a dozen balls, trying to keep it all together while the world around me is on fire. And the cherry on top? The cost of therapy and psychiatrists is so prohibitively high, it's making my depression worse.…

My goodness. It really has been a year or two. Honestly, maybe it's more like three. Whatever the case, time is moving quickly, and not in a fun speedy way but in a frantic upsetting way. Maybe it's because as we get older, time starts to feel as though it's moving faster. But, ya know, it could also just be our old friend “crippling depression ” that makes a thick fog of the days, weeks, months and years. While some people are snapping back into place after the pandemic, I still can't help but…

When I got my period I was devastated. I tried to keep it a secret from my parents for as long as possible, wadding up toilet paper and placing it in my underwear like a crude sanitary napkin. That didn't work for long. Soon I was frantically checking my chair for stains, living in fear of getting busted and mocked by my classmates , who already thought I was a total weirdo because I wasn't allowed to wear bras. Middle school was…not my favorite time. Anyway. I was convinced that my parents wou…

Ah yes, the summer. As a child I looked forward to this. Freedom from school. Warm weather. Maybe going to the beach. Languishing in my incredibly hot house eating fake popsicles made of juice as my mom somehow drank hot tea and chain smoked in the kitchen. The best times were visiting my grandparents and getting to watch cable television. Nowadays, summer is slightly less boring, but mostly because we have to exist as semi-functioning members of society as the season gets continuously unbearab…

Sometimes life is pure pain, but that doesn't mean we can't laugh. In fact, it's often the only thing we can do in the face of rejection, humiliation, and total failure . When people post about their tragic Ls, we're not laughing at them, we're laughing with them. Because we've all been there. Lord knows I have. If you're in the mood for a dose of schadenfreude, we've got a bunch of painful yet hilarious posts full of facepalm.

Press 'F' to pay respects.

Some of these HURT.
