How well do you cope up with emotional pain?

Humans as we are, we experience pain every now and then. Some people get over it easily, while others take time or even to much time in grieving. There are lots of factors to be considered though, that's why we deal with grieving in a different pace. A constant process is present though. A grieving or depressed person shall always pass through the stages of Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression before finally accepting the situation. Those stages really come in that order, one can't proceed to the next stage without passing through the previous step...How do you handle pain? Does it take you more or less time?

When I feel pain I won't tell anybody because I don't want others to get sed for that. But my friends dom't think so, they prefer sharing my pain with me to don't even know I am suffering pain. Even though I won't tell anybody, I can heal myself quickly. That is what my optimistic character brings me. Always be optimistic, and everything will be OK!

I don't cope with emotional pain very well at all. I believe since my heart and head is ruled by my emotions that I am more emotional therefore takes more time to get my emotions under control and that takes time. I deal with depression alot and have finally accepted it as something that is not going to go away easier and can't be dealt with in one or two days it is a process and since I don't take medication for it I have alot of lows and very few highs.But I am trying to get the situation under control more. One of these days I hope to succeed.

I think every person must face it. myabe we could cope up with the emotional pain by confiding to others to set your spirit free, it can help clear off the bad mood. Do sports or shout out, just do something you like and try not to think abvout it.

Depends on the source of said pain. For the most part i try not to wear my feelings on my sleeve and just shrug things off, im notorious for bottling up whatever until it either dissapates or explodes. Im pretty mild mannered in the temper dept so usually after a few days if it was something major im over it. Usually Ill just keep myself busy to avoid dwelling on it and it will jsut go away. On the other hand, when its something like from a longterm relationship or loss of a loved one, Ill still bottle up but that seems to just postpone the process and it will hit me a few months later and then i have to start from square one with the steps you mentioned. And by that point i kind of dwell on it more than i probably should, partly out of anger at myself for letting things bother me so much, and partly from never dealing with it to begin with.

I always experience pain and end up being emotional but I still handle it. at night i stay alone in my room and find out myself in tears. too many pains and challenges I been through but still Im here standing still and survived! emotional can pass if you let it and it will stay if you want it. move life as normally like others and when you walk through the pains and over pass all this challenges then you will find out and look back the challenges and pains and wasted tears you gone throught is just very simple and so small to stuck in corner and think that why would you so emotional of creating in yourself problem which you find out at the end its just very little. hope this can manage other people out there to think about being so strong. thanks again for open this page and happy lotting!!
