I have a couple people that I can tell my problems to. I know I can tell my sweety anything and he will always be there for me if I need a shoulder to cry on, which has brought about BIG improvements in my emotional state.
I listen to sad music when I'm sad, even though it only makes me sadder.
Sometimes I drink.
Oh, and I can only ever write poetry when I'm full of negative emotions. It helps sometimes, when I read the finished product and it came out the way I meant it to, but a lot of times I get frustrated in the process of writing it and it makes things worse. I also like banging on my piano.
The best solution to emotional distress is to go flying. I can leave it all behind and be up in the clouds all by myself. It's fucking amazing.

i'll usually:
- take a long walk back to the fields, and bring the lawn chair with me, so i can escape (comfortably) for a few hours.
- take baths.
- talk to my best friends.
- cry/very minor anxiety attacks.
- drink or get high if i'm not too depressed. if i am, it just makes it worse.
- talk to my mom.
- listen to music.
i think that's everything.

Listen to music. Only sad songs because happy ones will make you angry.
Think deep thoughts.
Sleep. It's hard to care about anything when you're unconscious.
I don't like talking to people about how I feel all that much because I have this deep fear of looking like an attention whore. Deep down, I am. I strive for attention. I just usually keep that side of me subdued. I wish I could tell people how I feel when I'm upset without dropping little hints, because most of my friends are accepting and wouldn't think I'm begging for attention.
Self mutilation I've tried but I'm not a huge fan of it. It releases stress, for me, but it just leads to lots of problems later, like always having to wear long sleeves and trying as hard as you can to hide it. If my parents ever found out, I WOULD be institutionalized cause my mother promised me I would. I only did it to see what the big deal was, because a few of my friends do it and seem to be cutting advocates... If you haven't done it, don't. It's totally not worth it, IMO, and now I can truly say that now that I've done it. But I guess it's just not for everyone.

i almost started crying my eyes out at work yesterday. some guy was being a huge dick and i couldn't take it anymore and i pretty much had a big breakdown and told him off in front of everyone. it took every ounce of strength in me not to cry in front of everyone.

Cry for me.

Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.
Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

i don't deal with my problems. it works. when i get really stressed, i smoke pot or drink a lot. but that doesnt help, because i end up screwing around with guy which messes me up, but i still do it . lol what can i say. im not depressed or stressed right now. the past 2 years have been bad tho, i listened to music, and counted on my friends (altho that was a bad idea). music really really helps tho
you have to, you just have to trust me
whoever i was then i can't ever be again
the faith you've found i've never felt
the terror held in wedding bells
the comfort in "there's no one else"
the truth be told, i'm never going to know

How do i cope with my life?
I usually don't. I'm not depressed. But i just have so much that i didn't plan. I am so different than i would have thought i would be. To cope with that, I usually come on various message boards asking for advice.
I seem to constantly be bringing myself down for everything. I am very emotional inside, yet on the outside i come off as very nonchalant.
bleh, i didn't really answer the question, but whatever.

I just don't let things bother me. When it comes to work I just don't care what the customer thinks really, if he wants to be a jerk then you just ignore it. It's actually really simple. I worked cash at a KFC for 2 years and if you've ever seen KFC on a toonie tuesday then you know how crabby the people can get.
The way I figure it life is excellent. I have an amazing girlfriend, awesome friends, great parents and grandparents, and I love where I am right now. There's no point letting things bring you down. Life is too short to let things get to you, might as well enjoy life and tell all those little problems to fuck off, cause really they're not worth the time and energy.

I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.
