I 100% relate. My husband has nerve damage that had been giving him back pain for about a year. In this year we have had to go to the ER once a month because he was in too much pain. I get unbelievably angry every time. I can't stand hearing him complain about his back. I don't want to hear about the pain he is in. I get blind with rage when he mentions it. And it's always been like this - every time he is in severe pain I get so pissed when we have to go to the ER I hate myself.

I'm not sure why it bothers me. I guess I feel he is just being weak. Which is largely what I feel about myself when I comes to my mental pain so I'm probably projecting.

Anyway I just wanted to say I understand.
