Pushing the pain in Just me

When I saw the specialist about my fractured elbow he said I should try and get it out of the sling as much as possible. But how much is too much. What's going to do more damage then good. I'm a bit lost and probably pushing myself too much. I may be feeding certain emotions off the pain. I always have preferred physical pain to emotional. The over the counter pain pills take the edge off and that's it.

And then of course, because I don't have enough to deal with, all though perhaps i'm don't really have much going on, it's just me and the couch. But the guy I was involved with for all of two seconds, who is now back with his ex (yep i'm such an awesome person I drove him back to a crazy ex lmao), has felt the need to keep hashing over everything. Because I don't have enough shit in my life. Please keep trying to make yourself feel better by jerking me around.
