Living with Chronic Pain: My Story

Hello "people like me". this is my first post and I think I joined to find something that maybe I haven't tried to alleviate the pain and frustration I have in my everyday life. I am not someone that moans about pain and such like and I tend to understand that people I work with,etc do not want to hear my problems. My pain is not always visible but is always there and I wished I could cope with it better. I wished I could do the things I used to do or that my peers still do. I have a great social life but I am getting less and less able to keep up anymore. I just wanted to vent with people who understand this. xx

bless you for that answer. It's true that people don't understand as it isn't visual, except when I drag myself upstairs to the office in the morning haha. You are right, there is nothing that can be done to get rid of the worst pain. I listen to Jazz to tell myself there are worse things . Thank you for listening xx🤗

Bless you. I completely understand. When the pain gets bad, like really bad, I haven't found anything that makes it better. Sometimes I just can't hide it, no matter how hard I try. I know if someone doesn't have chronic pain they just can't understand. I don't understand how someone just doesn't even try to understand, benefit of the doubt or something. I also miss the things I use to do. Cope with it better? Hell sometimes you can only do so much! We all need to vent! I will do my best to listen.
