Do you have good coping mechanisms?

Question

Squatting_Slav · Accepted Answer

I do I think they're quite bad though. Most situations it's block it out and not care.

I. e. relationships:, freindships,

but oddly not work.

With work my coping mechanism is to keep trying and doing better

For relationships, i've had instances where I've been 'controlled' etc or had to deal with jealousy etc where've I've given ultimatums (after communication etc) and followed through with them ending up in stalking, nasty messages etc.

otherside of the dtaing realm from Tinder: where I've set-up dates courtship was good etc chemistry was there to a message where she's busy, can't make today, seeing someone else etc. I would completely forget about the girl and walk away without a care in the world to then get missed phone calls, texts, apologies etc 😂

for the most part, yes... that's for the things that are actually more stressing and difficult to deal with but other "minor or lesser things" I do still some bad habits which are not the best...

When it comes to relationships, I don't have good coping mechanisms. I turn to alcohol or now lately weed to be honest.

Outside of relationships, I think I do. I usually just say FML or cest la vie and just roll with whatever comes my way next. It's no point in dwelling on hard times when time is of the essence and there's money to be made within that time.

Music. How and what music depends on the situation. Sometimes you just wanna yell along with some heavy metal, sometimes just lie down and let a song's feelings wash over you.

I just clean a lot to cope with stress and anxiety

Well I don't drink and I don't do drugs that's good, I'm good at taking care of myself and stuff but it seems like you can't escape some things from your past it just defines your reality and you will always be affected by it no matter how hard you try so it sucks. I don't really cope I just do what I can and when things get too much for me I take a break and spend some time alone and then when I'm ready I keep going. That's pretty much it.

My coping mechanism most of the time (when in good mood) is: "it is what it is" And sometimes when i jump on a decision i'm in full panic mode 😂😂😂 Honestly i blame my hormones 😂

nolabels · Answer

I thought that I did until the stuff really hit the fan this year.

No, I'm not coping well at all these days.

One never knows where that fine line of being able to cope lies until it is reached and gone beyond.

Some of the coping mechanisms I have are worse than my actual problems and they give birth to even more problems. I am a 100% aware of it, yet unable to stop it.

As a Member of the Gen-X Council, I'm afraid this thing "coping mechanisms" you speak of is not relevant. Our philosophy of FAFO still applies and has been proven highly effective for a full half century now.

AviatorTom · Answer

I think I do. I try not to take things personally, and stay an optimist, finding the positive, even when things look bad.

Reijen · Answer

I think so. I try to keep a positive attitude.
Get into a car accident? Well, I lived and that's what counts.
Mess up at work? Strive to do better.
Bought a bad product? Learn to research better next time.

Yes, just move on and try to occupy your time with useful things and be around people you feel comfortable with

jojouzumaki · Answer

Pretty much. I remind myself by accepting “it is what is”.

LiamJHayden · Answer

Not really. I either fix it, plow through it, or lock it away in a hidden chamber in my mind where it sits.
