very interesting
So at least there's one good thing about my OCD lol. I suppose.
Emotional distress and pain tolerance in obsessive-compulsive disorder
Dianne M. Hezela, Bradley C. Riemannb, Richard J. McNallya
Abstract
Background and objectives
Physical pain can reduce emotional distress, perhaps especially the psychic pain of guilt. This implies that people who continually experience guilt may exhibit greater tolerance for pain relative to people who do not.
...
Highlights
â–º We assessed emotional distress and physical pain tolerance in individuals with OCD. â–º OCD groups did not differ in level of guilt, distress tolerance, or pain endurance. â–º OCD subjects had higher shame and guilt and lower pride than did healthy subjects. â–º OCD subjects endured pain significantly longer than did healthy subjects. â–º OCD subjects may endure pain longer because of negative self-referential emotions.
