SOCIAL CONNECTIONS

Living with a chronic painful condition can be socially isolating and can lead to experiencing a sense of loneliness. On top of that, a sense of loneliness often worsens and prolongs chronic pain conditions.

A vicious cycle with pain isolating you, and the resulting loneliness then worsening the pain.

Feeling lonely on a regular basis can lead to lower mood, lower motivation and lower energy, while a sense of belonging and having positive social connections leads to improved mood, greater optimism and greater energy.

Basically, having a sense of connection and belonging is one of the strongest predictors of recovery and sense of general well-being.
