Do you use coping methods (healthy ones... ) in combination or just on their own?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by that ... Depending on how bad I feel, I either try to ignore it or pick up a pen and write something - a poem or short piece of writing. Poetry is good.

Name something that helps you to cope beginning with the letter 'A'.

Er ... Can't think of anything. I've thought about drawing or sketching, which would come under "A" for "Art", but I haven't actually started trying it yet. Does AIM count, because sometimes I instant message a friend who understands.

Do you see coping ideas as ways to banish feelings/urges or as a way to process/deal with how you're feeling?

Good question ... Writing helps me sort through and work out exactly how I feel, and it's also a feeling of relief after I've got it on paper, even if what I'm feeling is disguised as something else.

What's your favourite coping thing?

Whatever fits best at the time. Sometimes prose, sometimes poetry, sometimes talking. I like music as well.

A pen would be my choice, and I would write or maybe doodle if I can't think to write. I would end up needing an entire notebook though, rather than just one piece of paper.

Do you try to view situations from a different perspective before trying to find something to help you cope? If you do, can you give an example of how you turned it around?

I do sometimes, but it's hard. Normally it just makes me more depressed/upset because I feel stupid for not seeing it that way before, so it doesn't really work for me.

Pens. I am always running out of pens. I either lose them or they stop working. Notebooks are another big thing because they fill up surprisingly quickly, but pens are the big thing. If I had any money left over then perhaps a CD of relaxing music. And bath salts.

Do you have a portable coping things to put in your bag? If so, what do you have?

A number of biros, MP3, and at least one notebook, depending on how big the bag is. I'm never anywhere without writing materials.
