ways to numb pain: alcohol???

if me,i will play computer games .if you play games you'll put all your concentrate to it and have no time to think the bad things.but maybe it's not a good way .it's a little pessimistic.maybe you have favourit sports.such as skiing,skating.it's cool .it's also my favourit sports.maybe any other ways.but the key is to transfer your attention

I have pain pills that were given to me when I went to the dentist. I took one and it made me feel worse than the tooth extraction so I didn't take any more. When I have pain now I take some over the counter Pain Reliever (acetaminophen), they probably have some kind of side effects and I am probably not suppose to take them. But I can't always the the Pain.

I don't think it is so bad if you take a sleeping pill once in a while but not all the time because it will become a habit and your body will always want that sleeping pill or you will not be able to sleep on your own. But if you only want to go to sleep because you are depressed and not because you are really tired, then you might be doing your body more harm than good. I do go to sleep too when I am depressed but I fall asleep immediately though. try exercising, it releases hormones in the body that counteract the hormones that release depression.

thanks so much for best response hon

Well depends on what kind of pain you refer..physical pain you need to take the right medicine... lol now I'm being silly...you are talking about spiritual pain. I simply let it continue, no sleep, no drinks no nothing. Just avoiding that pain makes things worse cause you won't learn to cope with it when it returns. By living that short time of "agony" you start to become immune to it and so you gain more experience and strength plus you will feel better cause to know the pleasure you must feel the pain too. This is how I do it and always works

To get rid of pain? Stretching, various herbal and homeopathic over the counter remedies, walking, muscle relaxants and over the counter pain pills, other medical things such as chiropractic, naturopathy. I don't take sleep pills. I'm leery of the side effects. I do take melatonin for sleep.

Last night I took a sleeping pill but it only got me frustrated. It did not work! So I was so sluggish and tired the whole day! I don't think we must try to "numb" pain. We should face it with all our courage. "Don't ask for an easier life, Ask to be a stronger person." As the saying goes... ^__^
