My coping advice is very simple: don't take life seriously! Life is meant to be fun, and more importantly, funny. Find the humor in everything and everyone and laugh as much as possible; even if you're the only one laughing (believe me when I say I've been there many a times).
I know this may seem frivolous to say when many of us are dealing with such intense emotions in our lives, but at the end of the day I find the only thing that saves me is my ability to laugh, even if it's about nothing at all (it usually is with me).

I agree, you only have one life to live so try to enjoy it.
Regret the things you do. Not the things you don't do.

Humor certainly is a great coping mechanism. Now, if only I could get myself to use it more often.

agree very much. Humour really helps, it releases tension and makes things more tolerable.
was trying to remember some quote or other about that, it goes something like
he gets through everyone and everything.
So three cheers for humour!
He's a brave fellow!
(not really the point, just thought I'd share it)
...then one day I realised that the people you see in waiting rooms and car parks and on trains are really far more interesting. That they all have whole novels inside them, a fabric of scar tissues, photos and memories. They are comedies and tragedies and - more often - both at the same time.
