Release through pain?

I’ve heard that your brain can’t process pain from two different parts of your body at the same time. I don’t know if it is true or not. but if my hernia is hurting, and I stub my toe really hard, the pain of my hernia lessens as the pain in my toe throbs.

Maybe I should just carry a hammer to smash my thumb whenever my other pains get to be too much to bear. :^)

I’m sorry to hear you are in pain, someone as beautiful as you should never have to be hurting.

It’s because it feels so good when you stop.

@evelyns_pet_zebra…I think you’re right. When two parts of the body is in pain, the brain doesn’t process both parts equally at the same time. It almost lessens one of the painful areas.

@MrKnowItAll It feels good while I’m doing it.
@evelyns_pet_zebra It’s more than two parts, more like all over, but pulling my hair just awesome lol

Endorphins.
People that cut or have trichotillomania (pulling hair out) don’t even feel the pain. It releases the endorphines that make you feel almost good. I’m getting more into the act of hair pulling though. But, that’s why self inflicted pain is not so mysterious.

@casheroo That makes sense. Because it doesn’t hurt at all when I do it.
