Feelings come and go, but also pain is just a sensation. For example, I have some pain from a couple of things. As long as it is not *too* bad, I am content *enough* to feel that I am not my pain. I would of course prefer it otherwise, and if the pain were worse I would prefer to be dead. But as it is I'm here (talking to you) and that is OK.
I'm in my 50s now and I didn't feel this kind of distance from my uncomfortableness when I was in my 20s. The effect of experience? I don't want to sound too hopeful.
