Contact local hospitals or speciality clinics

Large hospitals or migraine speciality clinics will often have in-person support groups for migraine pain. These may be weekly or monthly groups at the clinic itself. Do a quick google search or call your local medical facilities to see what they may have available.

One-on-one therapy

Chronic pain can be a mystery to those who don’t experience it and can be a lonely experience for those who do. You may want to talk about these feelings with a neutral party who is there to support and encourage you. The benefit of individual therapy for chronic pain sufferers is huge for mental health and happiness, which can decrease your stress levels and consequently your migraine pain. Psychology Today has a tool where you can search for therapists in your area who specialize in chronic pain.

Migraine associations and meetups

Organizations centered around migraines, like the Migraine Research Foundation, can be wonderful connection points to find real-life support. You can also use an online organizing site like Meetup to find migraine-specific groups organized by fellow sufferers.

Don’t underestimate the benefit of face-to-face contact with people who understand and support you. Even though it may feel difficult to commit to real life meetings when you have chronic pain, meeting with others who have your same pain experience can be rewarding and validating.
