The pain of the mind is worse than the pain of the body. - Publilius Syrus

 The pain of  a broken heart or heart ache shows up in the brain via an MRI  as the same as if your arm was just severely burned.  I constantly say similar and I do feel like this.  If someone could see the pain they would surely want to graft something on to fix it.

I sometimes feel that I am surely going to just disappear I hurt so much.  It is the most severe of emotions and I try to put on a brave face through that excruciating pain.  No wonder I feel so much.  My senses are all on overload.  I  know what it is like having burns to your skin as well spending quite a time in hospital with burns after a gas explosion.  That was the worst pain I had ever felt to date.

Read more about this here because it is truly interesting.  I guess it would help me if my friends had some idea of the extent of this pain.  Perhaps then they may understand why I can't go anywhere.  My burns are hurting.
