There's no leaderboard for suffering. ❤️

As a therapist, I hear this all the time: “I know other people have it worse, but…”

Stop. Right. There.

There's no hierarchy of pain. Suffering shouldn't be ranked, because pain is not a contest.

The person crying over their breakup while someone else is grieving a death? Both deserve compassion. The teenager anxious about fitting in while adults face job loss? Both need support.

When we minimize our pain because "others have it worse," we're not being grateful or humble. We're abandoning ourselves when we need care most.

Your heartbreak doesn't become less real because someone else lost a spouse. Your anxiety doesn't matter less because others face bigger crises. Your depression isn't "smaller" because you have a roof over your head.

Pain hurts because it hurts, not because of how it stacks up against someone else's struggle.

There's enough compassion to go around. Your suffering doesn't take away from anyone else's. It just asks to be witnessed, honored, and tended to.

What would change if you stopped ranking your pain and started honoring it instead? Share your thoughts in the comments below 👇
