Chronic Pain | Last Active: Dec 20, 2023 | Replies (159)Comment receiving replies
My bladder pain is chronic. I’ve had it over 25 years off and on. My doctors say the anxiety makes it worse. That’s why I don’t know where to start. Everyone here says I have to get depression and anxiety under control because it makes the bladder pain worse.

@sandywilford That is absolutely correct, Sandy. Emotional and behavioral therapies can help you begin the journey towards chonic symptom management. If you think of it this way... pain originates in the brain. Self care, self love, self regulation can really impact how you feel about yourself and how you react to symptoms. Have you reached out to a therapist?
