How do you keep the pain from affecting your daily life?

......I don't know how to cope. Nothing helps. Nothing can distract me from how shitty my life is.

I am so sorry, your suffering is palpable.

It helped me a lot to do Byron Katie's 'the Work' - it helped me to learn to see things from new perspectives and take back control. There are a lot of clips of her doing example sessions on YouTube.

I'm sorry for your feelings. I wish there was a solution and make it real with a snap of my fingers.

Absolutely no idea. My pain is at the front of my mind taunting me every second of every day

Have you tried painting or writing ? Also sorry you have to suffer like this all the days.

I don't think you can. How you feel will get to you and it will impact you, your attitude and behaviour.
Maybe listen to some music that changes your mood, have a cookie, a cigarette, some alcohol, fresh air, exercise (maybe not all the same time). I know this isn't a complete fix but maybe it'll help

I can relate 100%. I pop xanax xr. I still feel like total shit. I'm sorry you're going through this. I hope you can find some peace.
