Physical Pain vs Emotional Pain. Which one in your personal opinion is worse and why?

I've experienced both and that's a tough one. Both can hurt to an unbearable degree. If you had the worse against its worst then I'd say mental because that would have to involve others. Loved ones.

Absolutely physical


Emotional pain is in your head
You can control it


Physical pain put you in a prison within your own body

[thegreenyogi]

Interesting!!

[sage2021]

I have had both and PHYSICAL pain issues worse!!
When I was in physical pain, even though I was on morphine and oxytocin and other meds, I was still screaming out loud in pain.

[HawkPerception]

I can handle physical pain pretty well, but emotional pain is the worst. Getting dumped by the girl you thought you would end up marrying after being in a relationship and loving her for years, losing a loved one, or hearing a loved one has a terminal illness... I'd rather experience the worst pain. I'd rather go through the pain extent of childbirth than experience those emotional pains.

[Cidknee]

I'm with you there Hawk.

Physical pain heals, a few pills, a few days, n u move on..

Emotional pain? It rewires your soul, teaches u who’s real, n who deserves silence..

It turns softness into standards, n love into discernment..

I’ve learned scars don’t make u broken , they make u fluent in bullshit..

So no, I don’t fear emotional pain anymore, I mastered it..

Pain tried to destroy me, but I wear it like couture now..

@avaray What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

[Beckybooboo]

They're the same. Physical pain can be a result of your body being injured, which requires rest and some depression lol but emotional pain isn't any different. People suffer from actual heart pain, nausea, depression, headaches and a whole host of symptoms. Emotional pain also requires rest and a lot of depression 😞

This has to be a 50/50 based on the personal opinion and event itself as a whole

Both can leave scares visable and non visable to others and each has lasting effects on the person.

At the moment for me and my personal experiences. Emotional has the top ring of the ladder.

Most the physical ones have passed or been dealt with and they are healed or been made better.

Emotional. There is no real cure for that. No doctor to mend a broken heart, no band aids to glue it together, no-one to check if all the pieces are still present.

[michael3478]

Oh physical by far and i had both but depression can easily be controlled with diet and exercise while physical can sometimes be permanent.

[genericname85]

physical pain cause it's harder to deal with psychologically in my personal opinion. but that might just be cause life taught me emotional pain resistance.

[Jay-_-]

I want to say one is worse than the other but honestly it's in two different categories that can't be compared in my opinion. They are both painful that's my opinion and that's all I'm sure of.

[Agape93]

Emotional. You can't pop pills do truly dull it.

[loveslongnails]

Emotional pain usually takes much longer to heal, so I'll go with physical pain, even if it's chronic.

[dragoblack]

Physical pain is temporary, Emotional pain can last a lifetime with ptsd, subconscious fears, emotional walls, and defensive reactions to what caused the emotional pain

[Shiprex]

Emotional for sure because that will not go away and may get worse.

[exitseven]

I say physical is worse. It prevents me from getting things done.

[AngryCarl2]

It depends on the severity. Severe emotional pain would be worse than moderate physical pain.

[douride2]

Emotional pain is far worse for myself. Physical pain I can deal with.

[RedWine9]

I say emotional cause it can become physical. Plus mental stuff can’t be seen.

[Thecubs22]

They're both bad! Physical is outside pain, while emotional is pain in the inside.

[beenherebefore]

Emotional pain is worse.

[DrPepper12]

Neither. Nerve pain is the WORST!!!

[soe11]

• Emotional.

[ilistengood]

Emotional pain is much harder for me to overcome.

[Anonymous]

Both is bad, but in different ways.
