Life with chronic pain can be challenging if a person had a physical injury however, emotional trauma or stress may also be related to people's chronic pain. Managing stress is best done alongside others with stress-related chronic pain who understand what you are going through.

On MyChronicPainTeam, the social network and online support group for those living with chronic pain, members talk about a range of personal experiences and struggles. Emotional health is one of the top 10 topics most discussed.

Here are a few question-and-answer threads about emotional health:

Do you ever feel you are losing control?

How do you cope when you feel physically and mentally exhausted?

Does anyone practice meditation/relaxation techniques for pain, stress, anxiety?

Here are some conversations about emotional health:

Does anyone find a correlation between stress and pain?

My mental state is being affected. I get put down the way I act. I look fine so people think I am.

I'm in a stress-induced flare right now. I'm trying to still enjoy time with my family.
