- What is the most physically painful experience youve ever suffered through? What caused it? How long did the pain last? Did you fully recover? Tell us about it.
Omg lol pain. Well my ulcerative colitis causes me pain everyday. It becomes normal for me. I think my most painful experiences are when I get my periods though. I had an ovarian cyst, anemia,and a UTI one time during my period. I had a fever of 102, excruciating cramps, nausea, severe chills, and I almost lost consciousness once. I had to stay in the hospital for about 4 days. Now my periods are not so harsh. But pain is a normal thing for me.
- What is the most mentally/emotionally painful experience youve ever suffered through? What made it so stressful? How long did this pain last? Does it still affect you?
When my father put my mother in the mental hospital and jail one time. Omg I could type out a novel. Long story short, it lasted for a month and it was HELL. He abused my mom to such a point that she ended up scratching his arm out of anger. The scratches were barely visible. /: But the law is the law. Anyways, he took away all the phones so we could not talk to her, he did not let us see her, he let his whores and meth head friends loot the house, he got PISSED if we wanted to see our mom, and more. It still effects
me. I have PTSD because of how badly my father abused the rest of the family.
- Did you learn anything from going through such pain?
I have learned to appreciate life. I have learned how to be strong and wise. I am still learning this.
- What is your thresh-hold for pain? How much pain can you handle mentally? Physically? Where does pain draw the line into becoming too much to bare?
With physical pain, it has become a numb thing for me to deal with. I still feel it but I just shrug it off. So I guess my threshold is high. It becomes too much if I have to go to the ER. With mental pain, my threshold is a little below moderate. If it gets too much, I have panic attacks that makes me look like I am possessed or something... But because of the abuse that just recently ended, I am pretty tolerant to mild mental pain. But I am also sensitive, have high anxiety, and have PTSD. So it gets really difficult at times.
