Hi All
How do you cope with big emotions? How do you access coping strategies you learnt?
I’ve spent the past few days angry, raging, feeling literally alienated and on the wrong planet. And then out of the blue it just hit me, right in the gut and I got so sad and I feel like I’m drowning.
I feel sick and want out of this game. The intensity is just too high.
How do you cope?
