Coping Strategies......

I think sometimes people get

angry and mad at others.

When really they are angry

and mad more so at themselves.

For not being able to cope or

handle a situation they are

having to deal with at that

 present moment in time.

So to help them deal

with it better they rant and rave

to help them in a strange way

cope better with said situation

at hand. It's like it helps

alleviate the pressure they are

under and to cope with it all

more manageable in general.

Sounds stupid but true. It

seems to help them deal

with it a bit better.

Whereas to me. That would

just stress me out. All the

shouting and noise making.

But I guess each to their own

the way of dealing with things.

Or crazy ways that help

they grapple hard situation

and dramas.

None of us is perfect. For

me a hard time. I would

love silence and be on

my own to think and contempt

and write my feelings down.

That helps me.

Other people would unwind by

getting drunk or smoking. To de-stress

or even comfort eat. Those are

negative ways. That long-term

can make you ill or sick.

Point is people find ways to in

their own eyes. That helps

them deal with their problems and

troubles better.

Someone might just cry their eyes

out. And a good cry makes them feel better

Or

talking to a close friend or family member

and getting advice from them. Might be all they

needed.

All in all life is a complicated mess, and very few people come away from it without scars, the key is to have some moments of peace, i am on your side of the track, and being alone with my own thoughts usually helps me to get through. Very well written Dawn.

totally true people handle problems in their own ways.. some are good in hiding while others have difficulty coping

[Onlyme]

I do agree sette. We are all different in how we deal with things. hugs Dawn.

Sadly Dawn, some people really suffer because they have no coping strategies. The pity is they can be taught if only help was at hand. Often it is not. Good poem.

That i so true Chris, we learn from other around us. If that is they way they deal with stress is to shout and ball. Then you automatically do the same. Or if it just to ignore it. cheers Dawn.
