Sometimes I don't cope at all, and will use unhelpful behaviours. Other times when I can catch the emotion in time, I prepare to make a recipe and go shopping for all the ingredients, or at the moment I am looking for some ornaments for my living room, so I either go online to look or go shopping, or go to the library. I usually find that as much I want to hide in my bed, if I can drag myself out for a walk and be around people even if I'm not actually with anyone, this helps. For me having a specific goal helps me to focus on something other than the emotion. However this is much easier said than done. It takes a lot of effort and I very often fail at this
