Coping is not always the best thing

I was speaking to a friend today who gave me a “straight talking to” and she was right. I am so interested in coping that sometimes I am actually masking my true feelings, sometimes through coping you are hiding from your real emotions. I am proud of the way I have coped, however speaking today I realised that I was not proud of the way I had hid my feelings – often from me. Why have I done that? Well hiding is   sometimes less painful! If I cope I do not feel the pain of the hurt….so what do I need to do

1) Talk more about how I really feel to the people who love me.

2) Be honest about the problems

3) Accept that I am not “superwoman”  – I am human and I sometimes need to cope.
