Chronic Pain
Living with chronic pain can affect mood, sleep, relationships, work, and confidence. Even when pain is physical, it often interacts with stress, fatigue, and the nervous system. Psychological support can be a useful part of a broader pain management approach.
Signs Chronic Pain May Be Affecting Your Wellbeing
You might notice:
Feeling worn down, frustrated, or hopeless about pain
Anxiety about flare-ups or future functioning
Sleep disruption and fatigue
Reduced activity because movement feels risky
Irritability or relationship strain
Difficulty concentrating or coping at work
Feeling isolated or misunderstood
Low mood linked to limitations and loss of independence
Fear-avoidance (avoiding activity because of pain fear)
Feeling stuck in a cycle of pain, stress, and exhaustion
