I'm coming down from a mania episode as I type this (BP2) and I'm reminded of the most physical pain I ever received - gallstone attacks. Sharp, piercing pain for 4 hours if I ate anything fatty. The gallbladder was removed. But I'd still rather have the physical pain rather than the mental anguish I'm going through. At least physical pain eventually goes away.

So, physical or mental pain? You have to pick one. What say you?
