Do you ever feel emotional pain? How do you usually cope with it?

Frequently.

Feel it. Endeavour to make changes when I'm back in a neutral state, rather than 'scarcity mode'. And salve my soul with some good music.

Bon Iver usually does the job!

Plus, we have to accept that human consciousness exists in waves. It's not possible to be happy all the time. Perhaps, the higher the high, the bigger the crash.

I was watching some tennis the other day. And one of the oldie commentators, John McEnroe a past champion, said something which actually struck me. Failures are actually where you learn your lessons. And they are character building.

Take one day at a time. You learn to live with it. It doesn't heal, but the impact diminishes over time

I have experienced it many times and it's worse than physical pain. I just cry it out then share it with my close friend if I feel the need and then try to see if I can do something about that situation. If I can't and I'm pretty much helpless then I just use distraction strategy.

No. The last time was over 17 years ago, but even then it didn't last for long. You can move on quickly if you have the inner strength to do so.

Emotional pain is like the flue. It runs it's course. At least most of time. Now if you are cut really deep that is a different story.

All the time and I don’t cope well. I have bad habits I feed into

[RageBabe]

Often, and I don't really cope.

[Simslover92]

Yes a lot lately. I just listen to music to cope.

[jahaims]

You process it.
