Guest guest Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Having a flare-up of my chronic pain and just need to vent about it. aaarrrrggggghhhh..... Does it count as primal scream therapy if it's virtual?!? Isn't it annoying how life doesn't stop when you're overwhelmed by pain? You still have to go to work, do the grocery shopping, take out the trash, call your mother, all those normal responsibilities that make up this thing called life. You don't get a vacation from any of that; you just have to work twice as hard to keep up. And you pour so much time and energy and money into treating the pain that you never get ahead, in any sense of the word. I tell myself it's okay to get overwhelmed now and then, to let myself collapse when I need to, to politely excuse myself from the responsibilities of life for a night. It's not being weak or admitting defeat - it's just the break before the next round, the breather before the next mile. Because underneath it is the blind dogged determination that makes us the strongest people we know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
