My battle with migraines: I attempted suicide due to constant sickness and disapproval from parents

About a month ago, I had an attack while crossing the streets and I had to stop in the middle of oncoming traffic. It's bad. You cannot move. You are not afraid of anything else, as the headache becomes everything. I almost did not come today, because I had a crisis last night, but my mother prayed for me all night.

Of late, the headaches have been frequent and intense, since I have no way of procuring treatment and medication without medical insurance. I require approximately Sh 10,000/ for consultation and medication every time I visit the doctor. My current source of income cannot support that.
