Why does watching a video of someone vlogging kill pain more than getting messed ?

I am not trolling this is a serious question i thought pain was from electrical signaling from your body to your brain. So normally if i feel pain ill numb my body with alcohol or local anesthetics or sodium channel blockers. But i realized for some reason i dont understand watching a vlog of someone who is also going to specialists getting meds, trying them, getting sick, going to a new doctor, shaking, crying ect seems to kill my pain stronger than narcotics. I still shake or wince or cry but it doesnt hurt anymore. Can someone explain to me the mechanism behind this because ive been going to doctor after doctor trying to read only the most technical papers and it seems almost like listening to someone else is atleast if not more effective then say a na blockade and adrenaline for pain.
 
I really am inclined to close this. I feel like the answer or objective your seeking is a little bit too esoteric to be effectively answered by the likes of us here in Basic Drug Discussion and to be fair, your point doesn't really concern drug use per se. I'm gonna leave it open for a little while, but I'm not sure where it's gonna go.

Placebo effect, somehow it works, even on sugar-pilled control subjects to a vary remarkably significant extent it makes a spike on the chart.
 
In some way, you are empathizing with that person. Maybe seeing someone else's struggle that you can relate to distracts you from your own pain.
 
Thank you everyone for your input i wasnt trying to sound esoteric but after i read it, it really does sound like that. I only put it in basic not neuroscience because i wanted the non"experts" opinion on this because they cant give me an answer. But no that i think about it if this is for more basic harmreduction it is kinda off topic maybe could someone move it to a more personal beliefs or experiances ? Thank you.
 
I think The reason i am sounding so weird is i have been trying to listen to what all of you have been saying and i think ive been in a psychosis for years because my sense of fear abd delusions was way beyond normal
 
Like when i read keifs message it was like a voice in my head was like "see told you this is why you dont talk to people noone likes you. Stay inside alone where its safe" but then now after reading all you peoples input i feel like i think might be creating aggressive meaning from neutral or even happy people.
 
D1nach you are now hallucinating voices.

I'm having as hard a time keeping track of your symptoms as I am the actual medications you take. I think most of us are "well-meaning". Should you watch one of your makeup-tutorial vlogs? Listen to one of those girl-pop stars? I did want to hear your take on the one who reviewed Lolita from a feminist angle.
 
Its not much hallucinations because I know its my thoughts. It is closer to paranoia or delusions of persecution.

I will list all the drugs I take daily but idk if a moderator might want to cutt some stuff out because I in no way want to promote other people trying this.

Actually i really dont want to give anyone. Any ideas so ill pm you my meds and if anyone wants to know they can pm if they are interested.

Sorry kinda disorganized just got up.
 
Sorry guys. I feel the lifespan of this thread has reached its terminus.
