I would rather talk to you at 3am than talk at your funeral. Nothing worse than losing a friend because they didn't think they had anyone to talk to 😢. Phone always on, door always open and a drink can be easily poured. Support each other. I need eight people to post this message to show you are always there when someone needs you. 😘😘 I have an idea who's going to write "done".WHO ARE MY 8. Copy / Paste.

The man doesn't know that there is a snake underneath.The woman doesn't know that there is a stone pressing on the man.

The woman thinks: "I am going to fall! and I can't climb because the snake is going to bite me! Why can't the man use a little more strengh and pull me up!"

The man thinks: "I am in so much pain! Yet I'm still pulling you as much as I can! why don't you try and climb a little harder?!"

The moral here is: You can't see the pressure the other person is under, and the other person can't see the pain you're in. This is life, no matter whether it's with work, family, feelings, friends, family, you should try to understand each other, communicate with proper words, try changing your perspective, think of each other, and think of ways to resolve the problems. 💛💙❤️

“TV presenter Eamonn Holmes has spoken out again about the “hellish ten months” he has had with chronic pain following three slipped discs. The Belfast-born man revealed he receives treatment for the condition every day, but described it as “hideous”.

The new GB News presenter told The Times on some of the worst occasions he also has to rely on taking the powerful pain medication tramadol to ease the symptoms….. I get treatment every day. I get physio every day. I do exercises every day, get a bit of massage, which sounds pleasant but never is. Always love that, ‘He’s going for a massage today’ — and all you do is squeal and yell. But chronic pain is hideous.”

“Researchers from the University of Bath's Centre for Pain Research have contributed to a major international review into the safety and efficacy of cannabinoids when used to treat pain, including chronic pain in children and adults..... Our review shows that there is limited evidence to support or refute their use for the management of any pain condition. The studies we found were poor quality (high risk of bias) and the evidence was of very low-certainty, meaning that we are very uncertain of the findings and more research is needed."
