i have chronic pain (migraines), and i was just starting to think that my boyfriend of almost 2 years understood how this can worsen my depression and anxiety. the other day, i was triggered by absolutely everything i smelled. we passed by a lot of people eating, and every food i passed made my stomach turn. i tried explaining this to my boyfriend, since he asked if i was okay, and he essentially told me to just stop being triggered. like.. to stop letting smells affect me. (for people who don't know, migraines can cause nausea and vomiting. smells such as cigarette smoke and perfume often trigger migraines.) i tried explaining that i couldn't just stop being affected by the smells, but he kept insisting that i could if i tried harder. i dont even know what to say to that. he also tells me to 'stop being anxious' sometimes and to 'snap out of' my depression. any advice?
Thanks for this!
