Seriously how do you cope?

Life is hard and we all have our moments when shit just feels like it's too much to handle at present time.

So when you get to that point how do you cope?

What do you do when you just feel overworked, overwhelmed and just overall underappreciated?

We are all human beings and nothing reminds us of that more than ongoing stressful situations.

So what's your secret?

I fake it til I make it, because the reality is all we can depend on is ourselves.

@SW-User while I don't agree with faking till you make it I understand that all you really have is you.

I'm saddened by this reality...but people remind you every day that this is the truth.

@TheunderdogofNY if I allow myself to wallow in self pity and depression, it won't help anything, so I just try my best to see things with a positive attitude

trying to cope with things now. idk I feel like I can't talk to people about how I feel. I guess writing helps me cope with things

@texasborn89 I feel you on that fam. Sometimes putting pen to pad is the best therapy.

When i had a bad day i'd always have my wife to talk to and cuddle. That fixed everything. Now though i just talk on here but it's not the same though.
