I think it is so important to acknowledge the extent to which pain alters the way we feel about life and about ourselves. For me, a necessary step in healing was to recognize how much my physical pain was affecting me emotionally and to begin to have compassion for myself for everything I was going through. 

I also believe it is important to validate each other because we are the only ones who really understand what it's like to live with long term pain. I hope that in watching this video you may feel acknowledged and validated for facing the myriad challenges that come with living in pain and having the courage to carry on.

In this video, How Does Physical Pain Affect Your Emotions?, Sarah reads Part One: Pain Moves In from The Pain Companion with commentary.
