is it okay


Question Posted Tuesday March 25 2008, 3:33 pm

is it okay if i distract myself from my problems. im unhappy, but im trying to distract my mind, but i feel like im going to end up even more unhappy. but ive been unhappy since a few months ago, so im trying out this method. i figure its at least temporary partial happiness. what do you think about the method? is it worse then letting myself soak in my problems? ive been doing that since my problems started, and theyre not going away. should i continue distracting my mind instead of what i have been doing?


and does this question even make sense? lol

Hi Honey,

I think this is a great method for when a problem is too complicated to deal with for the moment, or for when it isnt the time or place for you to be sad about your problems. I think its great that you can compartmentalize your life and put aside your problems for the time being.

I also think that you should face your problems eventually, because in my life it has proven to make me so much happier.

I think you should take maybe an hour a day, maybe in your room when its quiet, and sit with a pen and paper and just figuire out what your feeling. And then the next day, take an hour (or even half an hour, or ten minutes) and figuire out a solution to the problems.

I know that works for me. At the end of every day i spend ten minutes figuiring out what i disliked about the day, and how to make sure it dosent happen anymore.

I wish you the best of luck!

you shouldnt distract yourself from your problems. they will most likely be there until you face them.

its probably going to be hard to face them.

maybe you could try facing one or two a day/a week. however long you need.
or maybe try facing one problem one day, and the next day hide from them, and do this for however long you need if it works.

I hope I helped.

Try to deal with your problems before you distract yourself from them. Because in the end they will still be there. But you know, Everyone deserves to have a couple of happy days.
