Physical or emotional pain?


I'd pick physical. Because no matter how bad it might get, you'd know that somehow there would be a way to stop it. That there would always be some treatment or medicine to stop the pain. And no matter how many scars the pain might leave, it would heal. Or at least you could cover it up.

But with emotional? If you suffer, you suffer alone. No one would know just how bad it hurts. You'd also never know when the pain will end or whether it will end at all. There is no doctor who can tell you to take this antibiotic or pill and the pain will leave you forever. And some scars remain.

It's like with those people who slit their wrists (not that I condone their actions). But in interviews with them, they always say that they inflict physical pain on themselves to get their mind off the emotional problems.
