Migraine Workplace Horror Stories: Share Your Experiences

In a workplace I knew, there was a case of bullying. A worker was constantly harassed by his supervisor. The supervisor gave him impossible tasks and then publicly shamed him when he couldn't complete them. This led to the worker having severe anxiety and his performance deteriorated rapidly. It was a really sad situation as he was a hard - working person initially.

Well, for me, it was when I had to attend back - to - back meetings during a migraine. I could hardly keep my eyes open and focus on what was being said. I kept getting confused and had to ask people to repeat things. It was so embarrassing. Also, working in a place with strong smells, like a new carpet or someone's overpowering perfume, can be a migraine sufferer's worst nightmare at work. It's really hard to function when your head is pounding from a migraine and you're surrounded by these triggers.

I once worked in an office where my boss was a bully. He would shout at me in front of everyone for the tiniest mistakes. For example, if I misspelled a word in an email, he would make a huge scene. He also used to give me tasks that were way beyond my job description just to make my life difficult. It was a nightmare. I left that job as soon as I could find another opportunity.

One horror story I heard was about the overloading of work. A USPS employee had to sort thousands of mails in a very short time. There was no proper break, and the pressure was so high that the person was constantly on the verge of a breakdown. Just piles and piles of mails everywhere, and the management seemed to only care about getting the work done quickly rather than the well - being of the employees.

I once had a migraine during an important exam. The pain was so intense that it felt like my head was being split open. I could hardly focus on the questions and ended up doing really poorly.

One horror story I heard was about an adult at work who constantly undermined a new colleague. He would spread false rumors about her work ethic and made her feel so isolated that she almost quit. It was a form of bullying that affected her mental health greatly.

One of my worst period cramps horror stories was when I was in the middle of an important exam. The cramps hit me suddenly and it felt like my abdomen was being stabbed repeatedly. I could barely concentrate on the questions and ended up having a really poor performance. It was so frustrating because I had studied hard but my body just wouldn't cooperate that day.

One of the worst poop horror stories I've heard was from a friend who was traveling. He had eaten some really bad street food and suddenly got an urgent need to go. But the public restroom he found was so dirty and smelly that he almost threw up while trying to use it. He said it was the most disgusting and difficult poop experience he ever had.

One horror story I heard was when the best man lost the wedding rings right before the ceremony. He had put them in a 'safe' place which he then couldn't remember. There was chaos as everyone searched for the rings and the ceremony was delayed.

I had a conch piercing horror myself. I got it done at a cheap place. The equipment didn't seem very clean. A few days later, I noticed a strange smell and the area was really hot to the touch. It was an infection. I had to go to the doctor to get antibiotics. It was a nightmare.
