Emotional pain: no thanks. I can't imagine a fraction of the sorrow some people carry.

i agree and if you even wish to be nice it all gets dissected anyway so why bother
and be abused best to just turn away and let them deal with it unless they ask otherwise

This thought fascinates me. Times I can power through pain and others when I can do nothing but succumb to it (and self-medicate).

Do you think pain levels are relative or subjective from person to person?

Also, I just thought of those damned things at the ER/hospital with the "how much pain are you in?" faces. Just get me as close to zero as possible!

the only pain i get once in a while is back pain but its more the sleeping pattern and the discomfort of not being comfortable or making a worse false movement than the state it is like pinching a nerve i do in my hip sometimes but its rare i experience pain in fact ive been pretty lucky like that, my pain is more emotional and i try to avoid that as much as possible which is why i keep my options in life open
and also avoid getting too attached till im certain of anybody...
and i take my meds and anxiety tablet to put up with the added
crap that involves me which makes me want to walk away and
disappear to a better less annoying place wherever that may be lol...

Internal pain - well, any constant pain - blows. Big time. But it's relatable if not inevetible, as I think most if not all of us have experienced it. Granted, probably at different levels but when you hurt, you hurt.

Interesting timing and maybe this is more morbid than macabre but I am embracing the initial post. Earlier, for some reason, I was thinking about my mom's future eulogy (she's still kicking at 85!) and that despite as much as I love her, it'd be difficult to relate how being her daughter has been. Seems the bad experiences eclipse the others.

When my dad passed, the words flowed from keyboard to screen when I wrote of him but ultimately couldn't muster the voice to speak them at the service and winged it, quickly. Was OK though, as he knew how highly I thought of him so fuck anyone else.

I should probably have saved this as a draft...but I am prone to saying fuck it

Apparently, the brain is incapable of really remembering the sensation of pain because it woud be counterproductive. If we could actually retain that feeling as a memory the way we retain other memories we would practically be non-functional from fear of getting hurt again. Or something like that. I learned it in a college psych course, lol.

6-10 thank you very much. i am never good at picking a damn number from their pain scale

That's wild and makes sense (though I've heard many women mention how distinctly they remember the pain of childbirth). For me, when my back is spasming like hell, I think that I'd take the lower back pain over it. Then when THAT kicks in, it's "oh yeah, I remember that now. Fuck!"

hello, hedonist

chadwick your a nice fellow..
why are you in such sore levels

chadwick

the list is vast

JWPearl

im sorry
i do know of one lady
who wanted to end
things bc she was in too
much pain and spent all
day in bed i guess it is
different to mental illness
you cant feel joy or happiness
but to feel
no comfort or relief would
be horrible too
do you get bent to relieve
yourself

chadwick

in my dreams i track down & kill bad guys for entertainment. this is enough to get me through

JWPearl

lol another dreamer like me
accept my sleep is mostly
nice and peaceful and im
usually not mentally ill
in my dreams but dont
handle it to well if my
dream is bad and usually
wake up sour and grump
all day long
yes im moody without
valid reason lol

I do that via video games sometimes. It's satisfying on a visceral level.

JWP, I'm not sure what getting bent to relieve oneself means...? I've done both, I think, but not sure if in a combined fashion.

Moodiness is par for the course of life.

JWPearl

pot relieves certain pains

hedonist

Ah, so getting bent is getting high?

I'm on board with that and will take it over any pills for pain.

(Indica and I have had a love affair for a stretch of time now)

JWPearl

yes bent is high as well as the other meanings but i meant high
if i was to ever get bent i would prefer nobody to know bc i dont
want the hassle of lectures and added crap which i put up with
enough and then i would be put off doing anything for myself
anymore

Hobbes

Hedo, get bent!

JWPearl

we say wasted,stoned,smashed,bent,happy and thats all i can think of at the moment
