By Colette Foreman


Having to endure chronic pain in every day of your life is never pleasant but depressing because they are the only one feeling it while on the other hand the people around them seems to enjoy life and get by as usual. On this regard, pain support groups online are platforms where such individuals are linked with others experiencing the same challenges who totally understand what it is like to live such a life.

Constantly explaining yourself to people who will never understand what it is like can be infuriating as have no clue of the pains you have to endure and living such a life. At some point, one can become doubtful and even question their sanity due to the fact that these pains only seems to affect them while everyone else is enjoy life and therefore putting one in their own world.

For that and many more reasons, online forums tend to be very useful as they help in assembling these individual and availing a platform for socializing and implementing a program where they get to share their different experiences. As a result, this encourages them gets rid of the loneliness that most of them usually have and equipping them with more coping strategies.

This can be very motivational as some people may even be contemplating suicide but with the help of the advice they get, they no longer feel alone in this and can continue enduring the pains. Apart from the support in terms of the validation and inspiration one gets, education is also passed and as a result, one gets to learn better ways of managing their condition.

At certain stages in life, having a circle of friends that understand you and can relate to your experiences is very critical as it is this dependency to one another for support that keeps one going even in the hardest times. In addition to this, the online platform is 24/7 and is therefore available all times making it convenient to everyone from anywhere.

One can learn to appreciate and enjoy life as other than the pains there are lots of experiences in their lives and therefore people may tend to forget the good ones and focus on the bad ones. It is by doing so that one can be able to get by in life and remain hopeful as there are more reason to be happy than to be gloomy all the time.

Bringing together people from different backgrounds with distinctive personalities makes the group more fruitful as people have different contributions to bring to the table. For instance, some may be good at inspiring others, while some are supportive while other may just be downright hilarious which is indispensable as people need to laugh often and enjoy life despite their challenges.

As part of the benefits of these forums, one seeks to get validation of their feelings since they mostly have no one to relate to in their worlds. Moreover, in the course of seeking help and advice one also gets to be wiser and able to offer some of the knowledge to others which is somewhat satisfying and it somehow boost and stabilize ones emotions.
