I have similar experience on the difficulty of rating physical pain. If it's something I can power through, does that make it rate lower on the pain scale, even if it comes at significant future cost? And I have never seen a pain scale that had a useful analog or metric for mental/emotional pain, or grief, or depression. It's been easier for me to quantify my physical activity and cognitive bandwidth, but even that is hard to rate consistently. Hoping things get easier for you.
