Social pain (psychache), such as ostracisation/rejection/bullying, can hurt as much as physical pain. Forgiveness and acetaminophen have interactive effects on experiences of social pain. Telling victims to just “let it go” is just like withholding pain medicines from patients recovering from surgery.
We need to tell the victims that psychological wounds are like physical wounds. They will heal but the healing processes can be long and painful. Psychological pain may come back in waves, and the scars may remain just like physical scars. If the psychological pain is unbearable, don’t hesitant to seek mental health. “It’s okay not to be okay.” Don’t be persuaded to think “it is all in the head.” Psychological wounds are as real as physical wounds. Good luck.
Increased hangover even with less alcohol kicked in for me in my early 30s, but mine was likely due to interaction with prescribed medications I’m still on. Either way, my organs thank me.
yeah I’m only half mad because i have other health issues i need to be working on, i don’t need to be adding a carcinogen into the mix
plus, all the homebrew and cocktail hipsters are also getting old, so the NA beverage industry is gaining momentum
Seedlip and Pearson’s spirits, Asahi Zero and Athletic beer, Lyre’s cocktails, and BOLLE and French Bloom wines are some of my craft NA faves
