How to Cope with Life's Challenges

Coping can be hard because at times at least for me it can be embarrassing but being more open about your situation to others can help, I thought people would make fun of me but many of my friends deal with the same issues I do. As for going out, planning and knowing what your triggers can be are good starts.
