We're living in interesting times, and an incoming challenge is access to medical assistance, and medications.
Mental fortitude' techniques for dealing with pain are also worth practice time. Pills and alternatives might not always be available. What I find most helpful personally is working backwards from recognition that I am experiencing something 'painful' and taking out the 'meaning' of the pain, putting that aside, the thoughts about it, and stepping back from the emotions it's attaching itself to, and going back to being the observer of my experience. What are the sensations? Being curious and trying to name the sensations rather than adding layers of meaning to the experience that turn it from a sensory experience into 'pain' or 'distress'. Next time you have an itch, try it. Observe the experience with curiosity before deciding what you want to do about it.
This can help with dealing with anger and frustration too.
We are in a spiritual war. The level of generational and epigenetic trauma is high at this point in civilisation. The information we're uncovering is preventing some of us from sleeping well at night.
Breathing techniques are worth your time. For intense emotions like panic, the basic breathing technique to switch from an activated adrenaline state, back to rest and digest nervous system activity instead is to breathe in counting to 4, and breathe out to a count of 8, I prefer in through the nose, out through the mouth, working up to higher numbers, slower breaths, twice as slow on the way out as on the way in. Your brain will likely tell you it won't help, that you're wasting your time, but it can start helping within very few breaths. This technique comes from The Body Keeps The Score by Bessel van der Kolk (as well as other places) which is a classic book about trauma and it's physical effects when it starts to become encoded in the body. Having experienced breathing problems and panic attacks as well as having done some shooting, it's worth being able to control breath, heart rate, and slow everything down. It's a technique worth practising regularly, so that in a situation where you need to calm down quickly, you stand more chance both of remembering to do it, and knowing that it will help you.
Strength in dealing with pain is often through openness and curiosity... experiencing and accepting what is, consciously at its most basic level of sensation. Sometimes 'one more step' and an antagonistic relationship with pain, or trying to ignore it achieves what we need it to, but they're both short term solutions. They can have a pain delaying 'what you resist persists' effect.
Put in different spiritual terms to my usual... consciousness is key, and it's what they're trying to take from us. Bringing consciousness to our experiences, whatever they are is dark to light, and #winning
