I can identify my feelings--mostly sadness, lonely, anger, & fear, but I don't know how to COPE with them. So far I've quit smoking so I can't do that to lessen the impact of the emotions, don't drink to excess anymore, so now I binge eat. I'm in therapy & on meds for bp 1, but I don't know how to go about learning coping skills. My therapist seems to be dealing mostly with my thoughts, but I need help with my actions. (Also, did an overdose a few months ago--another great coping skill).--Suzy
