When I'm on pain I try reaching out....often it doesn't work so I cut myself off from the people I care about.
I take my dog and walk along the river path near my house enjoying nature. It works every time.
Physical pain- usually take an Ibuprofen!!
For me, emotional pain is mostly more challenging to deal with than physical pain, as it can be harder to get understanding from others when the pain is invisible. It helps me to listen to others and connect with their emotional experiences. Somehow, it helps me feel less alone and more connected with the world, and also soothes my emotional pain. Also, I love listening to sad songs, as they can provide me some comfort in the midst of my emotional pain.
I usually cry it out and if overthink then I need someone else to talk to just to air it , then even a general chat helps as takes mind of things as a lot people do feel emotional pain and it is a horrible thing , then I self care start small
Go with the flow and get it out of your system....You might feel better tomorrow 🐱
