For me:
I feel physical suffering is worse for me....
@Creamyyy I think @mytwistedsoul is right they are both so very hard and they do effect each other.
@Tinywhisper11. @mytwistedsoul. I agree I find both hard.
I honestly think about this a lot. And it's really hard to decide... But mental is worse. Physical heals.
@jesusredeemedme2425 depends. there’s a lot of physical things that cant heal like cancer, fibromyalgia, POTs, arthritis, physical disabilities people are born with like cerebral palsy, etc..
Good point <3
@Creamyyy definitely mental
Mental pain creates physical pain
in my experience, Mental illness may not have been obvious, but when it made me run away from discomfort, it was. Worse yet, when that Affected others with stress and worry for my well-being, it was as if my family and friends caught a cold from me.
Physical wounds heal, but mental scars last forever. Your mind shapes your character.
Both are worse.
Mental pain is honestly so much more painful for me, like yeah maybe ill cry after accidentally cutting my finger or getting a bruise. But feeling that like wretched tearing emotion from crying has to be so painful for me. It feels like someone ripped my ribs apart to slowly leave thousands of papercuts on my heart. Theres always this tightening feeling in my throat, it feels like i cant breathe. But theres many things that will never compare to the pain you feel at your lowest.
Physical easily
