How do you turn it around when you've had a bad pain day?

[PapaEmeritus]

So like the subject line says - when you've had a bad pain day (or anxiety day, or vertigo day, or whatever) and your mood is tanking, what tricks have you found to turn it around a bit?

For me, the answer to the shit-show today has been is an impromptu date night with the wifey & the girlfriend (a rare occurrence these days due to conflicting school and work schedules) a double-dose of my nightly oil, and showing them Reefer Madness on DVD. :smoking:

Hi @ANTiFA ,have you tried a mag salt bath to relax and loosen up? This is a recent tip for me that offers some extra relaxation,problem for most might be making time for it regularly. @Root also suggested some cannabis/mag rubs/topicals that help thru the day. They offer me some extra relief but in my case its a back surgery that was not successful..Hope these tips help. Peace

Music, Epsom salts, hot water, and dim light.

I call it Toke 'n' Soak. Works great with heavy or trippy or sensuous strains, depending on what kind of care you need. I aim for the peak of the cannabis effects and climb in.

I have severe pain with my feet due to callouses among bad landing, I find what the 2 above suggested works best if you're trying to keep it minimal. If you want to spice it up a bit, get a eucalyptus branch to steam in the shower with you. It will help open up your lungs on those days you've been smoking more to compensate. After doing that I find that sitting in an ergonomically friendly chair with foot rest. I know this isn't the most convenient option and can be a little more costly but it really helps to get through it.

I find when I’m down, to to try and just focus and be thankful for all the blessings in my life and look at the bigger picture. I like to imagine I’m up on a helicopter looking down on myself. With anxieties I ask myself is this thing worrying me going to worry me tomorrow or will I even remember it a year from now? The answer is always no.

And music, music music music, like the great bob said ‘when it hits you, you feel no pain’
