Carly Simon sang it, Haven't Got Time For the Pain. People identified with it, and a classic was born. But such a philosophy of no time for the pain can be hazarduous to your physical and emotional health.
Pain is nature's way of telling you to make some adjustments. Hence the avoidance of pain can be very serious. To avoid pain by abusing drugs, alcohol, work, or food, can be disastrous. If you haven't got time for the pain, you're too busy. If you take time for the pain, in a creative healthy way, you are enhancing healing.
Feelings denied is healing delayed. Feeling is for healing and denying the pain, masking it, or distracting it, is delaying the healing processes. If you get some help for your pain, you'll probably say, I wish I'd taken time for this long ago.
