Of course, if one is going to the max, rhymical pain is more painful than constant pain. One gets inured to constant pain that is.
The teaching I have is that the very worst emotional pain is worse than the very worst physical pain because it is of a higher order.
I went through the maximum emotional pain that I am capable of for awhile. With pain, when it is truly over, it is truly over. I don’t feel that pain any more.

Had the mental pain and the emotional pain to go with it. Kinda like having the bacon along with the eggs.

I dealt with severe emotional pain for years in my 20’s. It hurt so bad. It was loss. I fell in love alot when I was young and it hurt to lose someone. Lasted into my late 20’s. I don’t feel it anymore, my soul hurt though, really bad. There’s this Bruce Springstein lyric that goes feels like someone took a six inch knife edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley right through my soul (it’s actually skull, bad very bad) it should be soul. I used to sweat the bed a lot in my teens and early 20’s too, so it’s that too. Used to drink liqour at night but the pain would come back four fold at 4 am. Crying to music.
I don’t feel it these days. I cried twice in the past year and a half, first it was about my life before schizoaffective and then a piece of piano music made me cry. I have been alone now for a long time. Faces of old lovers make me hurt inside. But I do feel pain, mental not emotional if that makes sense. It just hurts in a different way now.

Sometimes they can coincide with each other. I had both when my mom was in hospice.
