Thanks for the replies peeps.
I know i am not alone in this, that is why i wondered if there was a coping mechanism for it.
I think the majority of my problems are in my head, so there is no escaping them. I should probably just go to the doc's for a diagnosis/help, but i am afraid he will send me to therapy. I would never be able to talk about my problems face to face, it's so embarrasing, sitting there being judged.
Anyways, enough of me rambling.
Thanks again people!
