Doctor: so what is your pain on a scale of 1-10

me: living with a debilitating chronic pain disorder has made it so that i am unable to quantify pain at the magnitude common people feel and thus I have no idea how to answer that

Doctor: …………..so, is that a 6?

A simple mental health pain scale.

I’m so thankful this exists. I think that many people with mental health issues (myself included) downplay what they’re going through.

I’m an 8 right now. If I hadn’t seen this chart tonight I’d keep denying my struggle. Now I have to face it.

Idk if I’m always at three or five

My baseline is 5-6. It just is. And it spikes to at least an 8 on a semi regular basis.
