Living with migraines can be lonely, giving depression or anxiety a foothold. When we feel depressed or anxious, it's harder to plan quality time with friends, go for a relaxing walk, or even work full-time. Depression can cause low self-esteem and fatigue, making exercise and other healthy choices difficult.

On MyMigraineTeam, the social network and online support group for those living with migraines, members talk about a range of personal experiences and struggles. Emotional health is one of the most-discussed topics.

Here are some question-and-answer threads about emotional health:

• Do you see therapists, counselors, or go to group meetings to handle the emotions from migraines?
• Do you feel guilty about things you can not do?
• Any tips on what helps you with your partner and family?
• How many of you suffer from depression/anxiety along with your migraines?
• What are the difficulties of raising a family with migraine and depression disorders?

Can you relate?
