Life is incredibly busy for many of us, so there's no time like right now to start planning for the upcoming June 2013 Headache Disorders & Migraine Disease Blog Carnival. June is going to be an extra special Migraine Carnival because it's our Migraine & Headache Awareness Month (MHAM) edition.
Our theme will be: Share your favorite blog post written by you or anyone else (so far) for the 2013 Migraine & Headache Awareness Month Blogging Challenge. PLEASE NOTE: Off-topic submissions will not be accepted for this edition.
Your submissions are due by midnight (the end of the day) on Saturday, June 8, 2013. Our deadline is ordinarily Friday by midnight, but we've extended it by 24 hours since the Carnival comes pretty early in the MHAM Blogging Challenge. We realize that just one week's worth of MHAM Blogging Challenge blog posts might make it harder to find a link to submit for the Carnival, but we have no doubt there will already be many high quality blog posts to choose from.
The May 2013 carnival will be posted on Monday, June 10, 2013, at the American Headache & Migraine Association (AHMA) Blog.
Enjoy writing poetry or have an interest in giving it a try? The Putting Our Heads Together Migraine & Headache Poetry Contest is the perfect opportunity.
The deadline for submissions is this Friday, May 24, 2013.

Every May is Mental Health Awareness Month in the United States. I have participated in Mental Health Blog Day when I'm able not only because I deal with mental illness myself in the form of depression and anxiety, but also because so many other Migraine and Headache Disorders patients do, too.
Both considerations have inspired me to focus on the comorbid relationship between mental health and Migraine for my Mental Health Blog Day post this year. This year's Awareness Month theme is Pathways to Wellness, which actually fits well into the direction I was naturally inspired to go in my writing.
