Coping skills for this week!

This week for my challenge I have decided to deal with the coping skills.  For about a month now I have had depressing feelings and issues.  I cry and explode on my love ones; I do not understand why.  That’s why this week I have decided it is time to deal with this nagging problem. 
                I asked my mother and sister if I could vent to them, and it helped more than I could ever imagine.  I have found out that putting an hour or two aside for myself was a great suggestion.  I am so busy now a day’s and having some times to myself just helps me to cool down.  Whenever I started to feel bad I would stop and take a moment to breathe in and out and focus on my chest going up and down.  It was extremely soothing to me, and I will try to keep this up with my pain.
                I believe everyone should have some type of coping skill.  Especially people with fibromyalgia because we deal with pain every day, and we watch people live their lives without this aching reminder that we cannot do what most of them do.  If you do decide to do a coping skill or just talk to someone I hope it will work for you!
