My best and the worst coping strategy for emotional turmoil or trauma so far:
Having 10 other things to do, so that whenever I feel anything emotional, I can say to myself, “I haven’t got any time for this shit”.
Yeah, when you keep so many rational things to stress you out, why worry about emotions?? šš¤£
Psychological Advice- It works for a short-term, doesn’t work in the long run. Also, if you cannot take mental and physical pressure, do not even try this on yourself. Deal with your emotions by understanding them. I also do that whenever I have the energy to do so. ā¤
Love how you speak to both truths here, dearest Preet. Intentionally avoiding emotions, which we all do, and then creating the space to do the emotional work necessary when needed. Lovely post, my friend. ā¤ļøš¦šš„°š¤
