Pain, how do we deal with it? Pain is defined as: physical suffering or discomfort caused by illness or injury. We always ask how to deal with pain because when you’re in pain you can’t avoid something that is already happening. Getting hit by a truck and then jumping out of the way. No you just got ran da fuck over. Physical, or mental pain is the subject of many today because mental illness has made the headlines. Kind of the rule, if it is in the news, then it is all people ever really bring up. I mean even in random conversation someone will warrant the subject out of nowhere trying to make light of a situation they heard about on the news. It is all fun and games until someone disagrees with you. Then the cold chill goes down everyone’s spine. Oh no they don’t see things exactly the same. Why isn’t that a mental illness? The mere fact that someone could have an opinion different from your own. IMPOSSIBLE, it is almost as if someone who has had a different upbringing, lifer experiences or influences than me. Well this cannot be happening. I will gladly repeat it over and over again till maybe they just didn’t hear me the first time, or maybe if I scream in their face they may see how passionate about the topic and say, “oh, they seem angry, they must know something I don’t.” Wouldn’t life be so great to where if people went off emotion, life would be so grand??? Probably not, it would suck. Mental illness being defined as: are health conditions involving changes in emotion, thinking or behavior (or a combination of these). Mental illnesses are associated with distress and/or problems functioning in social, work or family activities. Well let’s say that truck that hit you now has begun to change who you are. Of course it is hard to choose how someone will react to certain tragedies. Will they look both ways across the street, or will just never cross a street again, walk aimlessly in circles and be trapped in their own pain of a traumatic event that statistically is very unlikely. Choices made under emotion are very risky, and usually made under stress have a poor result of bringing us out of our own pain. That is not to say people cannot make decisions under extreme circumstances. This being a military veteran blogging site I think making decisions under high stress, the occupation speaks for itself. When “dealing” with your pain, understand a choice has to be made. The injury has occured, may have some scars later, but a decision has to be made still. Are you the one to run, and develop a mental illness of living in fear that you may not be able to make it across the street. Or do you make the decision to stare at your fear, and say fuck you, I decide my pain. Bangov Actual, out.
