Q: If you have frequent migraines that don't go away with easy treatments, your doctor can prescribe medications to help prevent migraines. If your migraines are severe (causing you to miss work or school, for instance), or if you take pain relievers for migraines more than 2 times a week, you might be a good candidate for these drugs. Commonly prescribed ones include: Certain antidepressants Anticonvulsants Beta blockers Calcium channel blockers Some women find that their migraines seem to be linked to their menstrual cycle. Others will experience worsened migraines during menopause. If this is the case for you, talk to your doctor. They may advise a program of hormone replacement therapy to prevent migraines. Keep track of your symptoms using a symptoms tracker app or a diary to help you determine a pattern. This will help you decide if hormone therapy could work for you. Stress, anxiety, and depression are all sometimes linked to migraines. Managing these issues can eliminate the migraine problem. Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and "talk therapy" can both be effective at treating migraines. Ask your doctor to refer you to a therapist, if you aren't sure who to see. You can also try neurofeedback.
A: Ask your doctor about prevention drugs. Undergo hormone therapy, if your migraines relate to hormonal changes. Work with a therapist if your migraines seem linked to mental health.

Q: The word "divorce" can feel very heavy, especially in a dating situation. You can think to yourself, why is he divorced? Is he a cheater? A con-artist? Abusive? A master manipulator? Refrain from painting your date as a villain in your head. Remember that marriage is a natural next step in adult relationships and that a divorce is a break up. Sometimes the reason for divorce is a lot less dramatic. Don't make his ex-wife a villain either. Again, people get divorced for simple reasons like falling out of love or just realizing they aren't as compatible as they once thought. Give her the benefit of the doubt by not judging the relationship because the truth has three sides his version, her version, and the actual truth. Anyone who has been through the relationship wringer will have baggage. A man who is divorced has more baggage than a man who never married does. He might have baggage if he has finances that might stem from his previous marriage (spousal support, child support), potential trust issues, potential children from that marriage, etc. Know what you're walking into and be accepting of that baggage, but also welcome the trade-off of maturity and less head games. Depending on how long ago the divorce happened and how he heals, pacing might be automatic on your guy's end. Don't be in a rush to leave a toothbrush at his place or to say "I love you." Take the relationship day by day. Be wary of divorced guys who jump right into a new relationship with you after their divorce has ended. You don't want to be rebound girl. While he says he's ready, notice whether his actions and his words match what readiness looks like to you. Does he know what he wants? Does he say he's single? Does he bad mouth his ex? Is he happy and successful at being single? Does he have effective dating skills? He should be able to maintain emotional and physical boundaries and disengaging from things that do not match that. Does he have effective relationship skills? He should be comfortable communicating assertively and authentically, maintaining intimacy and closeness, giving and receiving love freely, and being vulnerable. Find out for certain that your fiance has worked through his feelings about the previous marriage before he makes a commitment to you. This can include addressing any grief, self-doubt or other negative feelings that came about from the divorce. Discuss what things about the previous marriage he liked. Talk about similarities between your relationship and the past one, but don't mold yourself into something that you are not. Be open about what made the previous marriage fail so that you can work around the issue or avoid making the same mistakes as were made in the previous relationship. Being married once before probably hasn't killed your chances of reaching the next level in your relationship, but it does mean that he may be hesitant getting married a second time. Bear in mind that his reluctance to get engaged or married again so quickly is not a reflection of his feelings about you. Establish a timeframe for the progression of your relationship. Give him a year, two years, or 3. Do what works for you. If marriage is important to you, have a timeframe that supports your self-respect. If he proposes by then, you got what you wanted, but if he doesn't propose, don't wait years for him to make his move. Don't sacrifice your needs to appease to your partner's.
A: Date him without the negative connotations of divorce in mind. Accept that he has baggage. Pace the relationship and go slowly. Notice whether his words match his actions. Speak openly and honestly with your potential mate about questions that you might have. Be patient.

Q: Erase your ex's number from your phone completely and you'll be less likely to send a text. If you try, you'll scan your contacts, not see their name, and instantly be reminded that texting them is a no-no. You can also try putting the person's number on your phone's block list, especially if there's a chance they may reach out to you. When the urge strikes to text your ex, reach out to a friend or family member instead. Let this person know what's going on and have them distract you from the impulse. Say something like, "Today would be our anniversary, so I'm tempted to text. Convince me to change my mind, please!" Let your friends know that you may need their help with this while you recover from the breakup. For example, you can say, "I often want to text my ex. Can you help me when I'm feeling tempted?" You and your friends might even devise a code word that you can text them when you're upset. For example, you might text them "ex alert" or a certain emoji. If you're feeling particularly weak at any given time, surrender your phone completely. Hand it over to a friend or family member until the urge fades. Thanks to technology, you can call in reinforcements to help you stop texting your ex. Scroll through your smart phone's app store to check out the available breakup apps. Download the app and use it until the urge to text your ex fades. Certain apps, like Ex Lover Blocker, are designed to limit your ability to reach out to your ex by calling your friends whenever you try to make contact. You might find that you are able to keep thoughts of your ex at bay during the days when you're otherwise busy. However, you might be tempted to reach out at night when you're bored or lonely. If this is the case, shut off your phone for a few hours each night and spend time doing nourishing self-care activities instead. Watch your favorite movie, study, read a book, or paint your nails to occupy yourself each evening instead of using your phone. Let friends and family know of others ways they can reach you if they need to, such as through email or instant messaging on your computer.
A:
Delete your ex's number. Call or text someone else. Give your phone to someone else. Install a breakup app. Power off your phone in the evenings.
