Venting If you're suffering is in your brain people treat you worse as opposed to physical suffering

[Nullm]

People lose respect for you immediately and even glance at you as if you're contagious.
I went to the doctor because my body developed a disease and he denied it straight away with a straight face, and also hinted I am an hypochondriac.
All I wanted was to buy some time, maybe delay the progression of the disease so I can give myself and my family a little more time before I ctb.
I always try to communicate with body language and speech brevity and tone,
That I'm not at all interested in any pity or sympathy, or anything really beyond the service offered, but I always get a little taste of the person own interests/desires, only because they are able to feed me their crap without retaliation.
To me this only puts the average man's/woman's existence in a very dire perspective, since there's barely any room and space for any objective interactions.

Maybe so. But people in physical pain ain't treated very well either in USA these days. My life is equivalent to being tortured 24/7

Mental health is lesser known, so people think you're just weird. Meanwhile that's not the case

And the irony is that it is that "physical suffering" is just a mental process as well. If you break your leg, its not the broken bones that hurt but the nervous system that creates the pain.. its stupid that we see mental suffering as 'not as bad' when suffering is always mental

 

[DoubleUp8]

That is a good point huphup. Regardless of which part of your body hurts, the pain is registered in your brain.

 

[Catch-22]

Physical and mental pain both suck! When you have a disease that causes you to have both for decades it is literally hell on Earth! I need the fuck out! Some idiot once said we chose this life.. I don't agree.. now I choose to die! Fuck if it were only that easy!

also both are physical since mental pain is influenced by physical hormones and affects how your physical body operates
