  • Recovering from physical pain depends on the injury, recovering from emotional pain depends on the mind..so I guess it depends on how "strong" one is mentally? But I think the body is probably better at mending itself than the heart x
  • Emotional pain take much longer. Even the worst physical pain involves emotion so I think it's clear that emotional healing which can always have the scab ripped off, may never heal and the pain can be brought back in a blink of an eye by one word from someone.

  • It depends on the cause and magnitude. In my own case, all of my physical pains have healed quite quickly, and some of my emotional ones have healed as well.

A decade since it happened, and it still hurts me every single day, just as much as when it happened... I have merely learned to live with the pain.
  • Emotional, wounds on someones body can heal. But in some cases they never do but then again some emotional problems might not either. So I guess it depends on which two things your comparing.
