Health related ads are on the rise, the emphasise being on ADS. Marketing, not effective information.
Ever since I started getting migraines, pain killer ads have been annoying me. They claim to get rid of 'tough' pain fast, but somehow never work for me. They also say on the box that they are effective for migraine despite the fact that is not the case for many many people.

Ok, I get that they aren't trying to be completely correct in their statements and just want to sell the product, but really? 

There also seems to be a campaign going on to get people to live healthier, which is good, I'm all for that. But what kinda annoys me is that it always says 'Swap this for a healthier this to avoid chronic illness'. Other than the fact I just can't help thinking 'Bit late for that', it is saying in a way that if someone gets a chronic illness it's their fault when it isn't always true.

There are just some days when all I seem to think is "It's just not fair!" I don't want to pretend I feel fine and get on with what I have to do. I don't want to get up, go to school and do everything else I gotta do. I want to take some time out of the world.

Today was one of those days. It could have been a nice day. Barely got any migraine symptoms at all. Only problem was that I was so damn tired. But not physically, but emotionally.

Being in pain takes its toll. And somewhere in between all the homework, music and fixing of family computers I was doing, I forgot to take some time to relax.

So that's what I did today. I planned which class would have the least stuff to catch up on and went to lay down for a while in sick bay. Something very weird about planning to legally skip class, but it was very necessary. Wasn't long enough to help too much, but got me through the day, and I'm going to make sure I add 'relaxing' onto my to do list :D
