Today’s Challenge
Migraine makes us vulnerable. Fears of stigma cause us to hide our symptoms. Even when we’re with those who understand, our hiding continues.
If we’re ever going to break down stigma, we must first become visible. That requires each of us to let down our guard, stop hiding, and let our vulnerability show. It’s scary, I know. The risk of ridicule is real. Yet I believe that we are brave, strong, and capable of shouldering that burden. It’s time we showed the world how strong we really are.
What is one way that you have been hiding? Tell us about your plan to stop hiding. What will you do differently? What might get in your way? How will you navigate the barriers and roadblocks?
