Living With Chronic Migraine — Why I Had to Find a Different Way to Earn
🌺 Living with three different types of migraine attacks shapes every part of my life.
A condition that can sideline me more than I’d like, the unpredictability of my attacks is where the real challenges live. Not just the pain — but the planning around pain. The cancellations.
The days where I wake up not knowing which version of the day I’m going to get.
I was never big on letting people down. So calling into work sick — the guilt of that — not being able to show up for people who had hired me, who had faith in me to do the job — was a feeling I genuinely detested. I’d push through when I shouldn’t have. I’d apologise for things that weren’t my fault.
I’d tie my worth to my ability to show up, and on the days I couldn’t, I’d feel like I was failing everyone.
But the reality was becoming impossible to ignore.
Traditional employment and chronic migraine are not a sustainable combination for me. The rigid hours, the expectation to perform consistently, the fear of being seen as unreliable — it was taking as much out of me as the migraine themselves.
Something had to change.
Not because I gave up — but because I was smart enough to know I needed a different path.
Finding a way to earn, to teach myself entirely new skills, and step into something completely unknown was the pivot I had to make to suit my life as it actually is — not the life I thought I’d have.
💻 I’d worked for myself online before in other industries. And even though those weren’t quite the right fit, every single one of them armed me with skills I still use today. Nothing was wasted. Every wrong turn taught me something.
That’s an important thing to hold onto when you’re starting over — there are no wasted steps, only building blocks you haven’t found a use for yet.
Being introduced to passive income stream platforms took its time to come into my world. I won’t pretend it was instant or easy.
I explored plenty of platforms that weren’t right for me and spent time I didn’t always have researching,
Eventually I found my feet — in user-friendly, accessible opportunities that work around real life, not against it.
