My therapist is always talking about positive coping mechanisms. Whenever she does I stare at her blankly because I honestly cannot think of any. If I could I probably wouldn't be in therapy yet again

Writing (i.e. complaining on LJ) is probably my only positive coping skill. I used to have working out but (a) not anymore and (b) that's one of those coping skills you can overuse and then it becomes UNhealthy. Not that I am in danger of that now. Oh, and there is baking but that sort of leads to eating, which is the coping skill I use most and need to STOP doing.
You know I am here if you want to talk. We can go out to eat or whatever. I feel like I am a crappy listener because I never know what to say but I do care.
I think I need therapy again, too. I just have this problem where I guess I don't show my crazy well enough and they always end up telling me I'm well-adjusted and ending my therapy. It's happened with 3 different therapists and I don't know how to fix it.
