minus-squarevaultdweller013@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up3·9 days agoUhhhhh does that explain why I can shrug off pain that puts other people in the hospital? Was it the fucking abuse?!
minus-squareGreenKnight23@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·9 days agoit’s always the abuse. my wife was neglected as a child and always told to “walk it off”. our first child, she didn’t have any pain mitigation. the nurses were horrified but morbidly curious. when she says it hurts I believe it would incapacitate a normal person. personally, I have worked on mind-over-matter pain mitigation (I fell asleep during a root canal) but hers takes it to a whole new level.
