RE: How knitting and crochet helps to cope with pain and depression
I have met quite a few people who suffer from migraines (and other physically painful conditions) and pain management seems to be the way forward @neumannsalva... Certainly knitting/crocheting (even planning the next project) can keep us going and focused in the hard times 🌺
Before the migraines hit so hard, I did not know how many people suffer severely from this. Perhaps someday there will be a better cure/medication, but it seems to be such a complex problem, with still so many unknown components.
Planning to have something to go for, to look forward to is an important factor. I did not think about this!!! Pain can be (a not so nice) anchor in the present, with the result that I think, this hurtful moment will not pass. But it will. Planning something beautiful like a new craft project can certainly help to get the focus away from the pain in the "now".
Thank you <3
