A Conversation on Coping
It’s too cold to go out.
The sun is still out though?
Just because it looks nice,
Doesn’t make it feel any warmer.
Hmm.. you could just wear a sweater?
Hiding my shivering,
Doesn’t make me feel warmer.
Go somewhere indoors?
Ignoring and avoiding the weather,
Makes it harder to face when I’m forced to.
Wow, you really don’t want to go out.

When using distraction and avoidance as coping mechanisms actually sets you back in your journey to good mental health.
