What do you do to numb out the pain?

Come here.

Get busy, work.

It's been said that helping another helps your own pain.

You understand that life is like that and you're lucky it's not worse.

Ibuprofen

Break out my TENS unit. You don't need to numb it if you can convince your brain it's not real.

Sleep

Music helps a bit.

Sleep or listen to music.

I don't numb it ...I face it head on and ...process it ...work on it until I no longer feel emotionally invested in it ...or the emotional charge has lessened

Stupid stuff
