I used to know someone who was 40 something years old and said they never had pain. As someone who wakes up everyday in pain from being in a car accident in my twenties, I was somewhat jealous and shocked at her statement. That accident ruined my career and my life. I believe that pain does cause anxiety and depression as I have all that now and ptsd. There has to be a better way in our medical system. I have been to many many doctors and they all run basically the same type tests and then they tell me I'm incurable and send me back to my primary care physician. I am in my late 40s and I have spent my entire life going to doctors in this same circular path. Now, I see a mental health doctor every 3 months. I don't think that I would be in the situation I'm in if doctors had helped me after my accident to be able to continue my life and maintain my job that I liked so much.
I’m really sorry to hear about your struggles. It’s deeply frustrating and disheartening when you feel like you’re not getting the help you need from the medical system. Chronic pain, especially when it stems from a traumatic event like a car accident, can have profound effects on both physical and mental health. It’s understandable to feel jealous of someone who hasn’t experienced such pain, especially when it has had such a significant impact on your life and career.
@DocSnipes Thank you for that kind response. I was thinking since I wrote that comment... I am blessed in many ways, and I don't think its good to feel jealous of another's triumphs, whatever they may be. I try hard to be positive and remember that God has me here for a reason. I died in my birth with my Mom and was brought back. I've survived violent domestic situations even. I absolutely do realize my worth in the world. I'm perhaps still trying to figure out some of that, even at the age of 49. I do realize that it's all about our attitudes as to whether we choose to be happy or not. I have good days and bad days as far as that goes. I wrote that first comment on a bad day. Thinking back, it's great that that person did not have pain in their life. It's much better to be happier for someone than to be down on yourself. Now, all that aside, I am only human, and yeah, we all get jealous sometimes even if I think it's not a very good quality.
What a useful video... Omg.... I could deeply resonate to every single thing you pointed out. For the first in in long time I feel Seen.... THANK YOU! I'm 29 and I've been dealing with lower back pain for years and then recently diagnosed with degenerative discs.... Despite of being the best student at university, having a great job, because of the pain I've lost everything.... I lost my passion for travelling and hiking.... My inner child mourns every single day... I want to do so much, but I couldn't.... People think when you're young, you're faking the pain.... Even my own older sister says "just forget about it for a while, let go out" and doesn't try understand at all.... I don't know what to do with this one life, when I had a different plan and the life had some other plans for me... Struggling physically, emotionally, spiritually, financially too

Thanks for sharing. Most parts of your presentation are practically not possible for many sections of people. Theoretically it sounds convincing . Some of the facilities are even out of reach for some chroically suffering people.
Had an episode of shingles that threw me for a loop. Disturbed circadian rhythm, particularly cause sleep is the only time the mind is not distracted enough to have that gnawing stabbing and itching that is of a relatively prolonged duration, around 2 weeks. Tooth aches similar, migraines though no more than 24 hours can also be debilitating. Humbling experience to remind oneself how disorienting it must be to have pain on a chronic basis.
I’m sorry to hear about your experience with shingles. It’s indeed a very painful condition, and the impact on sleep can make it even more challenging. Yes, shingles, with its intense pain and itching, can disrupt your circadian rhythm, making it hard to find relief.
