Salaam everyone my first post here. I haven't fasted fully since 2014. Long story short my family have always fasted but never been strict on making any of us kids do it. So I feel thankful that I was not forced, but also I feel at a disadvantage that I am not used to fasting.
Anyway my main issue is my migraines. I've never sought medical help, but when I miss meals or don't drink water for a period of time, usually at work, I get really bad headaches. Left or right side, or both if it's a really bad day. Now since it's lockdown I really wanted to try and fast with my family. I really tried today and I did it, but after my meal I've just got the biggest migraine. My brain is on fire. I was planning to eat 3 more meals until 4am because I've been on very, very strict diet for the past 3 years that I rarely change. 4-5 meals a day, just water, no junk food, etc.
I'm now laying in the dark, no chance of getting more food. I just can't do it. I feel like a failure. I feel like this cannot be normal. I know brothers and sisters say first day or week is hard but this is excruciating pain in my skull. I cannot do anything. I really wanted to fast this month. To try. But how can I fast if I can't even refuel my body because of my headaches?
Anybody please advise me. Will Allah understand my situation? I really tried. I just can't see the sense of suffering like this. And I'm sorry I don't want to be a sob story. I just feel so guilty like I've failed.
