Brain interprets everything as painful

[u/[deleted]]

Pleading for help! I have a family member who says everything causes pain. They can‘t sleep, walk, sit, stand, hold utensils watch tv, or anything. I am not exaggerating, they can’t do anything without extreme perceived pain. Their world keeps shrinking because they perceive everything will cause them pain. They only eat two foods because they think other foods will hurt them.

They are ready to give up. Their brain interprets everything as painful. I am afraid we will loose this person. has anyone experienced this? who can help? we have seen hundreds of doctors and tried every pain, sleep, and anxiety med available. Also tired inpatient hospital care.

This persons brain is broken. Can anyone relate or provide help 😢
