feeling in extremes or not at all

I'm afraid to diagnose my pain.
I'm afraid to medicate it too.
I've seen it done and it only seems to numb the pain, rather than make it go away.

I'm afraid to learn to need to numbness. To need to not feel anything at all as I go about my day.

Because I already feel in extremes.
I love like it's my first and my last.
I cry like I'm filling an ocean.
I smile like this is the first time I've been in love.

It would be so strange to go from feeling in extremes to feeling nothing close to.

But my pain is torture and makes it hard to move through the day.

So my question is; which is easier?
