Emotional pain.

The reason I believe it to be emotional pain to be worse is that the body naturally will shut off the pain, believe me when exposed to stupendous amounts of physical pain the body somehow manages to mute it. I had my jaw shattered and it hurt, hurt like hell but even before the doctor at the hospital injected the morphine in to my system to help ease it I found my body slowly but surely shutting the pain down, the nerves are like alarm claxons and the pain merely the ringing after so long you know they're going but you can still shut off the loud sounds that go with it.

Emotional pain however you have to work through on your own, all this counselling stuff is really just getting you to the place where you are capable and willing to face the problem but in the end it's always going to be you and you alone. Whilst some people see failure to deal with emotional pain as weak I accept from the point of view that I could generally always deal with my emotions well everyone can and probably will be put in the situation where they cannot cope with emotional pain in this lifetime and untill you are in that situation you will never truly understand just how much emotional pain truly hurts.
