Chronic Pain Support Group
Physicians and professionalsdefine pain as chronic if it lasts longer than three to six months and is persistent. It's distinct from acute pain that is a direct result of injury or trauma. This support group is dedicated to those suffering from chronic pain. Discuss treatments that have worked for you, find advice for your specific experience, and find support. You're not...
This week, the podcast discusses the issue of peoples desire or thoughts of dying after going through periods of pain and there just seems to be no help from doctors. Most people don't really think of killing themselves or something like that. It is more a situation of wishing you were dead so the pain would stop. In the studies that I have done, people simply wish they would die when chronic pain takes their hope. Do any of you ever have these issues?
Yeah there trying to get me back on the Surgery line for double knee replacements, double hip replacements and a shoulder rebuild....my answer was....."let me think about it."
Not in a hurry to jump back on the surgery train, it's been a nice couple of years with know body chopping my body parts off!
I am a suicide survivor. I have had 2 good friends complete suicide. I also have volunteered as a suicide counselor & the training was amazing; it was helpful to me! We teach what we need to learn!
I have had moments, hours even of wanting to die to not be in pain. I think more from the emotional pain. It can be so hard to do the simplest things.
Then I remember I'm not dying, I'm going to get better go into remission & find an actual diagnosis. And then I want to live & dance & appreciate nature, my fianc! Living.
There are so many honest responses on here. If you want to kill yourself PLEASE REACH OUT. to someone. Some hotlines and chats are better than others- depends on the training they do. I have a lot of resources if anyone wants pm me and I will send them. (I might try to post them some time soon. )
I know it can look like the only solution but it's not, it's the end. You are NOT alone even if you feel alone. It sounds like a clich but it is true.
Hugs to everyone.
