Why can't i accpet myself?

Today, i got asked a question which still is lingering around my mind.

'Are you addicted to the pain?'

It was a question related to my chronic pain but that question hit all my nerves. I had to think before i had to answer the very same question.

The fact that i had to think twice before answering the question made me realize how i just cannot get past my suffering.

I like the pain. I like pain. Physical or mentally, i find it comforting. It makes me feel like i am not alone.

When i am in severe physical pain, i think about my mental health so that i have a wide variety of things to think about and forget the pain.

When i am in mental pain, i think about my physical pain to get rid of the pain that's been causing me to be a loser.

Why are both my pains interdependent on each other?

yes, i am addicted to the pain. It makes me leave the reality i am in and go to another world.

I am addicted to the pain because i dont want it to leave. If my pain leaves, so does my chance to enter the other reality

Hi, I hear what your saying but I think you're really being hard on yourself. I get it; but we need much healthier distractions that make us happy and something we look forward to doing. I come to 7cups multiple times a day for a little while which is part of the routine of my day to day. Music can be helpful too. I think we all need to have a purpose and so 7cups provides the platform to bring sufferers to meet each other and it often just helps some to know we are not alone, we're in the same boat and when we work together we can all stay afloat! Sending strength and smiles 😊 Tag me any time!~

Blessings, Day

Pain is necessary just to tell you that you have to do something good and enjoy your life when you are healthy.

We all have pain but, how to live with it till it's gone this is the equation, pain not supposed to remain it's just a reminder
