Hey! Thanks for doing all this. You really rock!

I want to ask you about your thoughts on mental pain. As we all know physical pain can be sometimes impossible to see and then there is mental pain, basically impossible to see. But people go through it everyday. Sometimes it can lead to suicide as well.

Do you think we should add mental pain more into chronic pain discourse? How can we make it more visible in this community? Do you have any resources about mental pain I can read?

Sorry if anything is incoherent I'm currently in pain and medicated by cannabis.

Thank you for your comprehensive answer. I'm definitely going to look into what you said.

My doctor has just been in the mindset of "SSRIs might not make you happy but they at least stop you wanting to kill yourself. That's all we need at this point and that's all we can do".

It's awful! Like he knows the medicine is not working for me but as long as it stops me being suicidal its totally my treatment. I do not understand how they can't stop and think "is there really nothing else that would help?"

I'll just be miserable forever. But hey, who cares as long as I don't kill myself :( /s

Ahhahaahhaa essential oils did it for me. If the essence is cannabis that is lol.

Thank you for talking about all this. It's so freeing to see people face the same stuff everyday. Definitely makes me feel less alone.

I tried MDMA for therapy and that actually really did it for me. But that you can't take every week. I use that for every other monthly sessions with myself. I also go to therapy regularly which helps a lot. Weed helps mostly with my anxiety and worry issues. And helps the pain I get from endometriosis.

I tried LSD but I had such a bad bad first trip I haven't dared try again. It effected me really bad physically.

In still searching for better. Unlike what people want to think, we are not all lazy asses who sit all day. I search for a way to take all this pain away everyday. I'm going to look more into kratom and other things. Maybe LSD didn't work with me but other things can.

Maybe just for context I have Endo and borderline. Both so rarely diagnosed properly and both I've been suffering with for a very long time.

Wow great song! Sounds a bit like when my mind is running a thousand miles an hour. I'm glad you have a way to express yourself and channel what you're feeling. I write. It helps. What helps most usually is talking to people. Just being able to express how I feel.

Endometriosis and borderline personality disorder are what I have. Or what the medical community identified me as. When I was a kid (12 years old) having my first period all I wanted was a device to connect me to another human being who could feel my pain and understand. So many times it feels like nobody understands. It's nice to hear people like you talk. We need more space for these voices.

You just reminded me my childhood
