Does it aply to you when they say, pleasure is harder to forget compared to pain?

Pain stays in your nervous system, even if you no longer feel it, but even years can go by, and something happens that triggers a memory, and it rises up from your store consciousness, and hits you like a truck.

@Carissimi you were on EP?

No. Pain always leaves a memory for much longer.
popmol · 22-25, M
@Iwillwait once pleasure is given and then taken away its harder because that pain is worse in some cases!
Iwillwait · M
@popmol Yes. I have almost every good thing taken away, I can attest to your statement as 100% correct.
popmol · 22-25, M

No, I have a trauma brain and have since childhood held on to more of the unpleasant memories than joyful ones.

Like when I want to have a second plate of food and I know my belly is going to hurt after but I am eating it anyway? 😄
popmol · 22-25, M
@elafina of course i always choose for an extra plate, pain be damned i want more of that good food!
popmol · 22-25, M
@WaryWitchWandering mmh maybe i had to specify physical pain
WaryWitchWandering · 36-40, F
@popmol physical pain often gets blocked after the fact…or wears off, you know?

Mental anguish is hard to drop completely
popmol · 22-25, M
@WaryWitchWandering yeah, mental anguish (unless physical scars) will always linger.
