I hope this reply is not out of order, i do not mean to speak out of turn but i don't like the word 'coping' at all. I don't know why...maybe it is my interpretation of the word....to me it means that someone is just about getting by. I know everyone has a 'coping' time for one reason or another at some point, maybe it just shows the very strict rules i have for myself but I do not accept myself 'to just get by', that isn't enough. And i don't like knowing that many people are 'coping'. I don't know why it is a negative word for me......i just think coping should be for as little time as possible, i think that coping skills should be there to allow you to live. Not be coping.

Ahhhh i'm confusing even myself here!! And i fear i may have said many antagonising things, please know that my understanding is limited and this is simply my interpretation....i am open to anyone who wants to further my understanding

ps - good for you getting your hair cut rapunzel!! I'm sure it looks pretty! Do you like to keep it long?
