I would never tell another person to do that, why do I do it to myself? It's my mind playing tricks on me I think.
I have often said to myself "pull your big girl panties up and deal with it" It pretty much worked until dad's situation came up. Then all these things I thought I had dealt with came rushing in at one time. I moved out on my own when I was 16, so I had to learn to adult even more after that. I didn't want to fail and end up back at mom's.
