What's worse?

Mental pain hurts the most it always gonna be a painful memory where physical pain eventually heals or you can get something to help with the healing

Physcial pain... I have a high pain threshold but there was once where the pain was so bad that painkillers weren't helping and I wasn't able to sleep due to the pain. The physical pain took a toll on my mental health eventually... Although physical (injuries/wounds) would heal but the process and duration which varies on individual is truly mentally challenging!

I’ve experienced a lot of physical pain in my life but it did not hurt me mentally.

That's a tough question. I often laugh at my own physical pain (I never laugh at the physical pain of others). I think it is my way of coping.

When I was depressed, I was not myself. I couldn't do anything, not even think clearly.

I just want clarity. Both physical and mental pain can be blinding. If I break a leg, I can still think. If I lose my mind, I've lost everything.

@Creamyyy  For me it is Mental pain. I say this due to past/recent trauma experiences that have caused my PTSD, anxiety and depression to rear their ugly heads for a while now. I'm on week 2 of my medication and am hopeful it helps even me out. 

@Creamyyy

For me is mental

honestly, both suck in their own ways, but mental pain hits different for me. physical pain usually has a cause, treatment, maybe even an end. but mental pain? it lingers. it loops. it sneaks in when things are “fine.” and sometimes people don’t even see it, so you end up hurting in silence. i’ve had times where my body was okay but my mind felt like it was collapsing, and that felt way harder to escape.

but also, chronic physical pain can mess up your whole mental state, so it’s all connected. i guess the worst pain is the one you feel alone in. both need love and care. no pain is “less real” than the other. ❤️‍🩹
