There are things you can do every day that help you cope with your chronic pain. Some things you might already be doing, while others are good to start getting into the normal practice of. It is important that you keep trying to make changes in your life for proper pain management and mental health.

Stress has such a large impact on nearly every facet of your life, including your chronic pain. Regardless of where your pain comes from, stress is likely to trigger flare-ups and make it a lot worse. The best thing you can do is figure out what is causing your stress and work to reduce it. This might be spending time with people who tend to cause personal stress, work or financial stress that can be avoided, or simply living a more
organized life to avoid personal, everyday stress.
Sure, you may not love exercise, but exercise loves you! It isn’t just good for controlling your weight or burning calories, but it can help to promote blood flow that helps reduce your risk for heart disease and high blood pressure. It also helps to release endorphins, the happy chemicals in your brain. When this happens, you not only reduce stress, but you can improve your mood and be able to handle your chronic pain a lot better. Plus, certain sources of chronic pain are reduced when you are moving your body more often, like mild forms of arthritis. There are many reasons to start exercising more often.
Drinking alcohol may temporarily reduce your pain, but it is only hurting you in the long run. Not only is there a risk of addiction, but alcohol can get in the way of your sleep.
Sleeping is extremely important when you are trying to cope with chronic pain, so you don’t want to get into the habit of putting a Band-aid on the pain with alcohol every day. Plus, alcohol is a depressant, so it can make your mood highs and lows a lot worse.
Chronic pain is not something to take lightly. It is easy to become overwhelmed by it and let it ruin your life. Unfortunately, even those who love you might not understand what it is like until they have gone through the same thing. It might be better to reach out to others also experiencing chronic pain with a support group.
