If you mean physical pain, then you need to see a doctor and see what can be done in terms of managing it in a healthy way. If you mean emotional pain, then I sympathize but I can also see why your mother is telling you to "buck up", because "searing feeling of pain" sounds a touch melodramatic. Can you be more specific as to its source? Because that's an important thing to consider when it comes to countering it.

As a general bit of advice, any time you're in pain from say, a bad break up, the cure is time and activity. DON'T sit around the house wallowing in negative thoughts. Get out of the house, learn a new hobby, exercise, meet new people, etc. You might also consider volunteering someplace. Soup kitchen? Animal shelter? Helping someone else is an amazing antidote to feeling worthless or depressed.

I don't think they're being melodramatic. If you're not used to it, some kinds of pain is incredibly painful.

One day I pulled my back muscle and I was in so much pain I could barely move. I would have certainly called it searing pain. I felt like there was a knife in my back.

nayrt - Physical pain, yes. To describe emotional pain as "searing" sounds like bad fanfic.

Re: Advice

...NAYRT, but have you ever lost a loved one? "Searing" can totally be an accurate description. Especially when emotional pain leads to physical pain. Nothing like having your abdominal muscles clamp down so much from crying that it feels like you pulled something. Or being so dehydrated that you get headaches, or panicking so badly you end up naseous. I don't know what's going on with the original poster, but I lost my dad and am going through losing my mom. Give me physical pain any day. And this is coming from someone who got nausea-inducing migraines every couple weeks for a decade. I've had a head injury that knocked me out with bonus concussion and stitches. And nothing like being stung when your limbs swell up to twice their normal size. Oh, and dental absesses are awesome fun.
Compared to having someone you love die and watching them suffer, they're easier.

Even if they're being melodramatic, "buck up" is some extremely fucking useless and unempathetic advice.

Re: Advice

nayrt - Not entirely. Other people have posted useful suggestions that involve deliberately distracting yourself with work, hobbies, escapism, etc. That's a kinder way of saying "buck up", but at the core of it the advice is still to quit wallowing in the pain and to channel all of that energy elsewhere.
