Find Help In Pain Support Groups Online

By Essie Osborn


People who live with chronic conditions suffer with them on a twenty four hour a day basis. The aches, soreness of joints or lack of mobility because of back problems are rarely controlled by medications or other treatments. Some relief may be available from pain support groups online.

Family and friends sometimes feel that you are overly dramatic regarding what is happening to your body or accuse you of imagining the problem when you speak of it. What you can expect to find in these internet rooms is non-judgmental acceptance from people who are experiencing the same things that you are going through. This sharing between yourself and others has proven to be very therapeutic for participants and may actually help with the depression that accompanies chronic conditions.

Sharing with individuals who acknowledge the reality of what you are going through can offer hope when it feels hopeless and give you strength to continue when you just want to quit. Their experiences when shared can often suggest ways to achieve relief if even only on a temporary basis. They may also have been through treatment plans that you are not aware of and may want to discuss with your doctors.

They can offer encouragement that will help you continue to cope with your living situation and with the day to day living problems you may face. Best of all you will find someone who is available to talk twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. When you are unable to sleep at three in the morning chances are someone else is having the same problem and is looking for a friend to speak with.

With the wide variety and massive number of rooms available to choose from the different types of chronic ailments covered is substantial. There should be many options open for you to make your selection from. All of the rooms may not be the right fit for you so it is recommended that you visit several of them and sit back and listen to the conversations that are going on to find the one that appeals to you.

Some sites offer live forums where you can speak to others face to face if you choose to do so. These sites take away some of the anonymous atmosphere of the sharing but may serve to give a more personal face to the rooms where it is available. Many people prefer this method of attending the group of their choice.

In surveys it has been noted that nearly twenty five percent of all people who suffer pain on a daily basis participate in internet group therapy of this type. Most view it as people healing people and freely give of the wisdom, strength and hope they possess. They consider helping those in need as the ultimate reward for their participation.

In the past there was virtually no way that individuals could connect with others who shared their pain. Today with access to the internet any person can become part of a community of people who can relate to them and share the hope that comes with understanding. There is no longer a need to travel to weekly meetings with those whose problems may not be the same as yours. Support systems may truly be evolving.
