Hey Cheryl, I'm so sorry for your pain, I suffer constant emotional pain too, from years of isolation and being different, I guess.How do you cope with pain that painful?
I never know what people mean by emotional pain that physicially hurts. I mean, it hurts and is sometimes worse than physical pain. But I can't say I ever had emotional pain that I felt in my ankle or my arm. Besides that, emotional pain and physical pain both come from the exact location in the brain. So maybe that's why sometimes it feels the same.
Yes, and I don't know. It immobilizes me. When the pain gets that bad, I can hardly stand up, much less try to cope. It feels like my whole body is screaming. I like the phrase "wracked with grief" because it seems to capture the intensity of pain and the helplessness in the face of pain. It comes from being 'on the rack', i.e. being tortured by being pulled apart, although I don't think the actual feeling is like being pulled apart...more like my muscles seize up, writhe in pain. But it can't stay that intense forever, and eventually I can do something.Does anyone ever feel so much emotional pain that it physically hurts? How do you cope with pain that painful?
