Is It All In Your Head? (10)

Posted under: Thoughts

Do you ever wonder sometimes if the pain you feel is just your mental response? It’s kind of like taking a placebo. Well, you don’t know about the fact that it’s a placebo, but when you take it, whether or not it truly is helpful, you feel better.

So my question is this: Is the pain you feel all in your head? Does it really hurt or is it because you happen to be thinking about it? How do you know or how do you distinguish the difference between the two? Do you need to be bleeding or are you already bleeding inside your emotions? Why does it hurt where it does?

Most importantly: how do you stop it? How do you control it? Do you numb yourself to the point where you don’t feel anything else? Where nothing else seems to matter and all you do is go about your day, put a smile on your face for the masses, and then go home, feeling the same empty feeling?

So, is pain just a mental thing? Is there a placebo for the emotional pain you put upon yourself?

If there is, then where do I find one?
