Do talking take your mind off your pain, well some of it anyway

I will say, that i joined this site, knowing that it was a great site to come to that would help with stress.I was told to try to keep my mind busy, as that is a great way to escape from all the worries of the day as well as help with trying to ignore the pain.

I was thinking of you earlier today. Hope things are going okay.

With the winter nearly here and the cold, things could be better,lol.I am still on the morphine, also all the pills, but have better days than others.Hope you are keeping well.

It takes my mind off looking at the clock, knowing that i still have another hour or so until i take my meds for the pain.I think that it is a great way to also have adult conversation, with people that have the same interests as i do.There are things that we can put down on here rather than telling a person as well.I do feel better as in less stressed when i come on here.

there sure is

This is a great site to take your mind off lots of things that are going on in your life.It is great that there are loads of people that still come on this site to chat.

Hi bounce, how are you? i agree that emotional kind of pain is harder to deal with than physical ones...But sometimes, talking do not necessary take away those emotional pain. Its just temporary makes you not to think about it. To me, expressing it will make it worse, it will re-light that pain in me. In my case, making myself busy or start a new interest/hobby helps me forget the pain, making it easier to talk about or even forgotten.

Hi ksherrie. I guess people are really different. As talking about it 're-lights' the pain in you, I would rather have it written down somewhere as I can visualize the pain somewhere else, instead of being within me.

I find that being on here no matter what time of the day or night it really can help to get rid of some stress and if we have a problem with things that are in our life, then this is the place that we can come to chat about things and get other peoples opinions.

That is right. Often it is easier to talk to strangers because they would not judge us cause they do not know us in real. Although some of them would act so knowingly, still we can treat it as an amusement.

I agree that it is great that this site is here, as there are always people on here that we can chat to no matter what about.You are right that bad things should never weigh us down and here is a place that i come to, just to escape from the things that are really bothering me.Helps being able to discuss the things that are bothering us.

'Atta do it! Smile always and keep that positive outlook in life!! Stay happy!

I feel like when we all come on here it is a place that we can really relate to, plus take off things that are constantly on our minds. It also distance us for a while to always in the backs of our minds. Hope you are keeping well.

It is nice and to get paid for it is even better, eh?

I will say panic attacks are not a thing that i have, thankfully.I think this is a great way to get to chat to people and it helps to relieve the stress that i am feeling right now.I am so pleased that there is a site like this that i can come to, just to chat away to people.

I also suffer from severe pain, but it is the case of having to do something to stop clock watching until the next dose of meds for the pain.I get to the stage of scratching skin that is already bleeding if i do not keep my hands busy.I get grumpy when i am in pain and that is not fair to all the people that i live with, so i try to keep myself amused.

Feeling stressed helps me come on here and have a bit of human conversation. I feel it is a lot better trying to get things off your chest to people that you may not know in real life. At the moment I am stressing about christmas. Stressing about all my childrens bed rooms they wont tidy and im to unwell to sort it.

The pain is awful, no matter what i do i can not get rid of it and i can not get rid of the itching that i get when i am stressed out about the pain.It is like a waiting game, trying to hold out and wait for the next dose of morphine.I feel that there are times when i have just sat in tears in pain, not knowing what to do, so i now come on here to try to pass the time and have a chat with people that are great for discussions in taking my mind off the time.

I get stressed a lot, as there are things that i want to do and can not do anymore, due to my health.There are people that i want to go and see, but i can not, as i am home bound now and can not get out to see people.This is a great site to come on and chat about all issues that are going on in our lives, also at the same time chatting to friends that we have made on here.

I feel that it is a lot easier to talk to people on here rather than to talk to some friends, that way your friends do not know all that is going on in your life.

It helps to pass the time away before i get more meds.I think that by being on here in pain, it helps to try to also take my mind of scratching my skin where it is split and bleeding.I think that there are times that i need an escape and this is the site to come to for that.

Thank you.I have come to terms knowing that there is no cure to the things that i have got, so it is the case of making the most of the good things that i do have in my life and the people on here to talk to.I think that there are people that are woirse off than myself in the world, so i should be thankful in some ways.

I find that topping up on morphine helps with some of the pain, but that can also cause constipation.By being on here it helps to pass the time until the next dose of morphine.I do like to get on here and have a chat with people, as there are always people on here chatting about a lot of things that are an interest to me.

I think that this site can distract us from some of the pain.I get to the point of looking at the clock to count down when i can have more meds to get rid of the pain.It is nice that we can come on here no matter what time of the day or night and there will always be people on here that will chat to us.

I also find that there are loads of things that tend to come on here to get rid of stress and take their mind off their problems.I feel that it is a place where there are lots of people that are on here day and night, which is great for when we have sleepless nights.

By being on here i am not causing myself to scratch my broken skin that is really itching.I find that by being on here it is speeding the time up to the time i can take more morphine for the pain that i am in.I think that it is great that when i come to this site there are always things that we can find to chat about and chat to people that are more like our friends that we have in our every day lives.
