migraines have me more depressed and anxious

i get migraines a couple times a month but it’s still somehow managed to make my life miserable. i’ve had an increase in regular tension type headaches before and after the migraine and have a constant feeling of dread about when my migraine will unexpectedly hit and what i’m going to do for the rest of my life. i feel anxious just leaving my house because what if my light sensitivity and vomiting worsen while i’m driving (this has happened to me several times where i’ll start throwing up while i’m driving). ive been canceling plans so much i feel like such a bad friend and family member.
