I fail majorly in coping with my emotions. Healthy ones don't even seem to come in mind. I'm very impulsive all it takes is one thought and it's off to the races. I've been self harming since I was in middle school and substance abuse. Those are my two unhealthy skills. I don't let myself go through the emotions. I put up my wall and let it build till I breakdown. Most of the time I don't know what I'm feeling. I've been in therapy for years and groups so I know there are better choices. My problem is that I always go to what I've always done because I know what to expect. I do have to give myself credit for using this site. For every unhealthy coping, I must replace with a healthy one. How do you get to the root of the emotion and what's causing it?
