Earlier in my recovery, if I started crying, I learned to immediately take an Imigran to ward off a migraine. The stress of crying and the anxiety or sadness that caused the crying were just too much for my brain at the time. I had to avoid certain people who upset me because they did not understand my injury. I feel that it damaged some of my relationships to not directly confront the problems, but I was just not capable of handling it.

It will get better with time. I cried last night--my husband and I got into an argument, which we resolved--and I was tired this morning because we stayed up late talking, but otherwise, I was fine!
