The hell that giving birth can be.
A lot of women endure having a baby...and holy. shit. No.
Their bodies produce chemicals that cause them to forget how bad childbirth was.
I suppose it is for the best, but nonetheless I find it uncomfortable how our bodies have the ability to manipulate our brains' memories and our consciousness residing in the same place cannot do anything about it
Oh, it's worse than that, the consciousness is in on it.
These chemicals are our memories. They aren't manipulating it. It's just how it works.
On another note: the body produces opioids when you're in great pain
