being stuck in a constant web of our own thoughts is very common for those with any sort of chronic pain or condition
why?
because chronic pain takes hold and strengthens because of an underlying sense of danger
that’s what pain is: the brain telling us we’re in danger.
when we’re constantly feeling in danger from a general sense of unease or anxiety, chronic pain takes hold
we’ve evolved to think that constant, endless thought is who we are, what we are, but it’s not true.
realizing how destructive and unnatural it is, and taking steps to control it, is huge step towards healing
