Some Peoples painkiller isn't just a pill, it's a hobby, something that takes the pain away or just the mind off. For me music or writing is the best painkiller. Taking the pain away with words and lines. And with music it's so simple just blast it until you can't feel a thing.
The guy who cuts his wrists or thighs after a bad day, or the girl who starves to feel pretty. They are all using painkillers, the guy who cuts is using his razor as a painkiller, the girl who starve is using the starvation as a painkiller. We all have our own painkiller.... Some are innocent others might end up making things way more painful.
But if it's blades, starvation, vodka, cigarettes, songs, books... Never regret it if it made you feel better in anyway.
