I'm much older than you now, but you sound like a younger version of myself. High school, well, really ALL of my school years, were very hard for me for all kinds of reasons. I wanted to comment to congratulate you, and I mean that sincerely. At least for me, having a day that was even the tiniest bit better than the day before, felt like a massive accomplishment. While migraines were never a problem for me, insomnia was. If I had a night where I got more than 2 hours of real, solid, nightmare-free sleep, I felt on top of the world. I don't know you, but whatever is going on in your life: keep doing the things that make you feel just a little bit better. Music was a big one for me, and it sounds like maybe that (and anime?) is the thing that will help get you through. Try to avoid the darker stuff though, because I've definitely experienced times where I was having an "okay" day, and then that ONE song, or even that ONE theme in a movie or TV show, completely flipped my entire mood and led to another downward spiral. I still have days where I struggle, but surviving school is something I can confidently pat myself on the back for. I can't promise anything, but I have a strong feeling that you'll be alright, kid! Enjoy the little things. -L

Sounds like a fun day! I want to make some cute hairstyles too but im too lazy to wake up earlyy :(
