Dealing with Difficult Emotions: How Do You Cope?

"Developing self awareness has definitely helped with behaviors. Thinking about how one feels, then how they have reacted in similar situations in the past, evaluating the difference and focusing on the outcome of each scenario can be beneficial. It takes time but true self consciousness and awareness helps with most situations. Also, putting your needs first before other people's wants can help. If you ever feel even a little exhausted or unsure or uncomfortable, don't do it. Just take time to yourself and write or read, or listen to music. Accepting that it is a part of your life, taking it slow day by day and finding pain therapy and acupuncture works very well."
