How do you cope when you feel like you're barely surviving emotionally?

Hi, presently I'm at a state where I'm just hanging on for dear life by trying to not succumb to my level of sadness and pain. I've family members who are going through a grieving period myself included, and lately we had another tragedy. I have quite a few things going on in my life, one being a recent thing with someone who indirectly posted my business on facebook. It reached to the point where I deleted my Facebook account and even whatsapp 2 days ago because of this. But the subject is coping and not succumbing to negative thoughts brought on by pain, how do you cope?

Call myself a bitch and continue on, finding something to occupy my time and keep me focused.

And, scientifically proven Facebook is shitty.

@Tatsumi okay, guess I could call myself that and try. Yeah, facebook is like a big blotch in my life

@Ladyofemotions It works for me, because I have an innate disgust for weakness and imperfection. If you don't, it probably won't work.

Studies show that the vast majority of people get depressed after being on Facebook. It really is just a pain.
