Coping 101: One thing you who had secure or happy childhoods should understand about those of us who did not, we who control our feelings, who avoid conflicts at all costs, or seem to seek them, who are hypersensitive, self-critical, compulsive, workaholic, and above all survivors, we are not that way from perversity, and we cannot just relax and let it go. We've learned to cope in ways you never had to. - Piers Anthony

Coping 101: Everything can change in a heartbeat; it can slip away in an instant. Everything you trust and treasure. Whatever brings you comfort, comes at a terrible cost.

Coping 101: Close your eyes, real tight, and then count to three hundred. That's all you have to do. You just count to three hundred and when you open your eyes, five minutes will have passed. And even if it hurts or things are shitty, or you don't know what to do, you just made it through five whole minutes. And when it feels like you can't go on, you just close your eyes and do it again. That's all you need, just five minutes at a time. - Shannon L. Adler
Coping 101: Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it. - Dorothy Thomas
