Rookie120 0 #6 April 15, 2006 I just look at the poor bastard next to me and tell myself things are not that bad. Look at this guy! And when things are good I tell myself I am the greatest!

Brian425 0 #9 April 15, 2006 You need to accept that in life there is a constant ebb and flow. You are going to have periods where eveything just goes right and even when you fuck up, through dumb luck, you still win. Then there are times when nothing goes right. For me, the key is that nothing last forever. No matter how bad it is, things will get better. Hang in there. B The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.

johnny1488 1 #11 April 15, 2006 You realize there is no bad and good, only life. I try to realize that when things seem "bad", it just takes a bit more to see the "good". Johnny --"This ain't no book club, we're all gonna die!" Mike Rome Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icon134 0 #12 April 15, 2006 Who's to say I actually cope with them... sometimes I think my life is a fiscade, a farce, a joke... an then I share it with all of you... and everyone laughs/pokes fun at it... and then I laugh at it because I realized how stupid my life actually sounds... and I get depressed and then post about it then people laugh at it... its really a viscous cycle... Then I skydive and nothing else matters... or I see something beautiful... a friend says something awesome... I go on a good run... etc...Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife...

lisamariewillbe 1 #16 April 15, 2006 I used to confide in friends, then I realized that most friends are only your friends during times of good health and happiness. I still have a few people I confide in, however I stopped looking at them as just friends and consider them my family, but I cope now by refusing to allow defeat. I suck it up, smile , and pretend life is just grand. Eventually I get to stop pretending.Sudsy Fist: i don't think i'd ever say this Sudsy Fist: but you're looking damn sudsydoable in this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Richards 0 #18 April 15, 2006 I usually get really drunk when I am bitter about something. It never solves anything and I pay for it the next day, but it just seems so right at the time. I does help however to drink a few a day when I am going through a stressfull period in my life. Not drunk just 3-6 in the evening to help me get to sleep. Richards My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

ROK 0 #19 April 15, 2006 I went through most of my life holding everything inside, and dealing with the problems like a "man". I became friends with someone wonderful over the past two years and we share the good, the bad. and the ugly. A friendship without expectation or reward. Having someone you can be completely 100% honest with is worth more than all the money in the world. I'll never go back... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbrown 26 #20 April 15, 2006 QuoteHow do you cope with life's events? the good? the bad? the ugly? Do you vent to friend? do you go to a psychologist? counselor? Do you deal with it alone? Take meds? How do you celebrate the good and cope with the not so good? Sounds like you've named several good suggestions. Friends, counseling, and proper use of meds can all be helpful. Dealing with things alone isn't a good idea, though having to face things yourself is unavoidable. I once knew an older guy at work who was a teenager in wartime Athens, under Nazi occupation. I asked him how he dealt with it. He told me there are some things you don't get to think about, you just deal. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Vertifly 0 #21 April 15, 2006 You call this coping? You are asking a bunch of people who jump out of planes for pleasure. Hahahah!!!!! Sike, really...
