I don't know why we cope at all! Like why do we bother doing anything! Sometimes were in such emotional pain, that whats the point! Like when were depressed why do anything and just stay depressed! I don't know why i wrote this cause it's kind of like coping about the why do i cope thing and also what i'm feeling!

~Just a thought i needed to get out, and kind of cope with!~

we cope because we're alive. and because we're people with feelings that deserve to be listened to. and we deserve to be happy. i mean sometimes i'm so depressed i don't want to deal with anything, and don't have the energy to live anymore. but it's all in my head; i'm strong. i know it right now. i just forget it when i'm feeling bad. i focus on other shit that's bothering me, instead of remembering that i can get through it. and we're allowed to wallow in our misery, or to do whatever it takes to feel better. *huggles* sorry i don't make sense.

love, tara.

I guess its part of being human - number 1 instinct is for survival and so with that comes coping. We have to try to stop the emotional pain in some ways - and some of the ways we use are healthy and help long and short term while others are more harmful.

Hope you feel better and can look for good coping techniques that will ease the pain.

because we can... i think there's some truth to the 'the person who truly wanted to die... killed themself 5 minutes ago' saying. we all are capable of killing ourselves. many of us feel like it often. some of us have gotten far closer to it(even without it being an actual su attempt... but through si/od/etc stuff) than we like to admit.
like what nirvana said... for me... my reasons change depending on my mood. how clearly i'm thinking at the moment. etc.
