Do you think physical pain is unbearable or mental suffering...?!


Question: i can't decide that people commit suicide either due to cancer or depression.


Answers: i can't decide that people commit suicide either due to cancer or depression.

i take slow release morphine because of intractable pain and although im not dying it is similar i understand to pains such as cancer etc i take 240mg of slow release and up to 60mg equiv of ora morph solution. i am mentally very strong if i was in the least bit depressed this level of pain may well be intolerable and lead to thoughts of suicide. I hope to goodness you never experience passing through your pain barrier this is when apart from the physical signs of extreme pain on the body (pulse temp and blood pressure etc)you become more and more aggitated nausious and or vommiting etc until you become so exhausted or shocked that you become sleepy or lathargic and your core body temp drops and then i usually end up with silent tears as the only response i can manage. even as strong as i am mentally when this starts to happen the lack of control is awful. Now imagine if you were facing cancer and the prospect of repeating this over and over again, would you now think it would be the pain or mental suffering. hard to call ???

Mental anguish is much harder to hadle than physical pain.

yeah i have someone in my class like that his name is Irvin

unbearable

definatley depression in my opinion. all pain stems from the mind. The pain of being in mental turmoil stops you from seeking help to control the pain. when its physical you can think god that hurts give me a paracetamol.

Physical pain reflects on a person mentally. So in the case of your question they are both the same. At least in a relative way.

some physical pain is unbearable but the pain brought about by death, a cheating spouse, being decieve by friends or family will always stay.

On going severe pain will leave you extremely depressed so I can understand why the suicide comes into it.
I'm not sure how I keep going but I think its determination at this point but the other option would be much easier

I would think physical pain is worse, but if one is in dispair it impairs judgement.

It depends on the individual. None of us can say what is hardest for someone else to bear.

Maybe, I have a high tolerance for physical discomfort, somehow, I have always learned to cope with it in one way or another. Emotional pain however,has always been the worst for me. My past experiences have shown there is no pain like heartache, and until it runs its course there is no getting away from it. But even through the worst of both pains I have never wanted to kill myself.

either babes both are insufferable have to deaith both most nights
