Discussion Is Your Suffering More Mental or Physical?

[DeIetedUser4739]

For me it's more mental than physical and can never get better because I know too much stuff I wish I didn't, I never really understood the saying "ignorance is bliss" until now.

 

[JKFleck]

For me it's mental too when the only person that ever understands me abandon me after I breached his boundary

 

[InAgony]

Mental, but a lot of the mental torment comes from physical causes.

 

[LunarLight]

Mental, clearly.

 

[shimmerdeath]

mental but it sometimes manifests physically too (migraines, consistent abdominal pain, cycle of eating too little and binge eating)

 

[lizzywizzy09]

Physical. I am so fucking lonely.

 

[davidtorez]

Physical. Which in turn plays on the mental side . I think most suffering comes down to the mental state. If you are suffering Physically and can come to terms with it mentally then you won't suffer really

 

[TiredOfAllThis]

Mental with a bit of physical issues.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Mostly mental but it causes some physical pain like elevated heart rate and some breathing trouble on occasion. My mental issues also cause me to eat a lot of unhealthy stuff so that probably makes it a bit of a physical issue too.

 

[sancta-simplicitas]

Mental, although that's a bitch in another way because it tends to affect the body too. Psychosomatic pain, neurological damage, GI-issues, cardio issues, muscle injury... I could go on. I don't want to.

It's caused by the fact that I exist, I suffer as I was so cruelly burdened with something so futile and undesirable as existence. It's really both mental and physical as simply being conscious and aware causes me to suffer but I also suffer from being trapped inside the decaying flesh prison that is the human body and being a slave to it. I'm so tired of suffering in this existence, to exist truly is an hellish, harmful abomination with no limit as to how much agony one can feel. In my case I simply don't want to suffer in any way, I just want nothingness, death truly is the only relief.

physical discomfort leading to mental discomfort caused by a brain injury i am bed-bound without medication and not much better on it really

 

[Rubypie41]

Physical which subsequently causes mental anguish, therefore both, but if the physical issues were gone my mental state would be fine and I wouldn't be on this site.

 

[ctemourge]

both. i get so distraught mentally i make myself sick. heart palpitations, nausea, shaking u name it.

 

[d3ad]

Both, and I really hate being alive.

 

[tvo]

Physical (chroni pain) that reinforces the ongoing mental anguish.

 

[Roadrunner]

Mental. Anxiety and depression.

 

[timetodie24]

Mostly mental but it impacts me physically too

 

[Felodese]

Mental. My total lack of mental health is balanced out with excellent physical health....

 

[ijustwishtodie]

In my case, it's mental. However, if I continue to stay alive, my suffering will get physical too as my body is extremely weak and isn't good enough to adapt to modern demands. I know that my body will crumble down massively once some pressure is applied to it. Hopefully I ctb before I experience physical pain too

After so much time, it is not about sufferings for me. This is another reason why i feel and know therapy is useless in my case. I'm not depressed anymore, not planning to die to end any sufferings. Since childhood i had to learn to endure that, so since very long.
It's more about knowing that this life has nothing to offer or bring but disappointment and bad situations. (I hoped for a while that love could save me, lol , it's even the best way to go deeper!). Life is already violent and meaningless naturally on this earth especially animal life, just reproducing yourself without any sense to it. No thanks.
It's even worst as a human being, we are forced to play a comedy, in an insane reality where we are just modern slaves. Our lives are just about that, and all the entertainments you would find (from alcohol, cinema, gaming, holiday whatever) are just there to make you accept this fact and make it a little nicer, softer.

I do understand and respect thatmany are suffering, mentally or physically. But some of us, are even beyond that. There is a point where sufferings doesn't mean anything anymore. It's just about being conscious, being aware of our stupid reality, which make you unsuitable for this living comedy. That's something people even therapist/doctor so-called specialist can't understand. They are closed in some clichés that suicidal people, are suffering, depressed and only considering suicide as the only solution to easy the pain blablabla. They can't even imagine that some people are so conscious and sensitive, that we just realise (sometimes at a very young age) the reality of our meaningless life. That there's no sense in all that, no real reasons, no real joy to live all that. We're even not in a funny caring joyful society. I mean come on..... all those people acting like all is fine, satisfying themselves with poor placebos and illusions, oh my... And the way suicide is completely taboo, refused and inconceivable to them is hilarious. They are even capable to tell that you are the selfish one by thinking this way and wanting to stop it; telling you that suicide is an error, that god doesn't want it or how much it is a coward thing. It clearly shows how much they have no idea of what they are talking about. They have naturally accept their condition and are just stupid animals driven by natural instincts. Anyone who has a developped brain, and an ability to think by himself and see things as "objectively" as possible, just see that life as we experience it has no real meaning. You can create one, you better actually if you want to live, to drive yourself etc, but concretly theres'no meaning, just animal survival and reproducing instincts in our dna, nothing more than that, nothing that has a real sense....

 

[outrider567]

Purely and acutely mental, recently had all my medical tests and bloodwork, nothing's wrong physically

 

[Yeet_Me_Away]

Mental to the point that it's physical which adds to the mental… rinse and repeat

 

[EvisceratedJester]

Off topic, but whenever I read any of your posts in my head it's nearly always with Fry's voice.

 

[divinemistress36]

Depression does affect one physically though to

 

[Red Moon]

It's more mental because of the autism and other conditions I have. Physical pain is there sometimes and I will just decline mentally and physically as I age, so it will be worse if I stay alive.
