Dealing with the Darkness

when bad things happen, how do you cope?

Do you eat/drink your sadness away?
Do you sit alone?
Do you yell?
Cry?
Call Friends?
Stay in bed?
Do 100's of sit ups?
Pray?
Do you shut down
or do something?

I know that I shut down. My favorite place to have a bad day is my bed. If it's really tough I call a friend. Sometimes I get the wisdom to write... but that's dangerous, and I might stumble upon some uncomfortable truth about myself. On a bad day I'm scared that the lies are actually truth and the truth is really a lie.

PS- this isn't a bad day, but I read an article today that got me thinking. :
