Coping Mechanism



Am I insane or just an extremely health conscience individual these days? My schedule this week is very typical of what I have been doing since the divorce:

Tennis Match: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday
Gym Workout: Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday

When I told a tennis foe my schedule this week, he said "Obviously, you aren't married are you?" I smiled and said, "NO. I am not!" I covered my grin like a Japanese schoolgirl.

One redeeming part of this insane fitness regimen is that I am sporting a hard body. Another perk is that I am often too physically and mentally tired to dwell on being single.

We all have our different coping mechanisms. Mine seems to be a healthy one that will ultimately benefit me. Unless I get an injury.

At least you are manifesting your feelings in a healthy and productive way! (And not to mention, just in time for swimsuit season!) Well done! ;-)

coping mechanisms are there to cope - they can be positive or negative. You've found a good one - keeping up your exercise. And it is a 'social' exercise, so this is even more good for you.
Sounds good to me!

I usually just eat Ben & Jerry's ice cream. But hey, to each his own. If it works for you - go for it!

I'm glad you're figuring up excuses not to have that someone special in your life. Maybe you can share some with Homer when you visit.

THere are certainly worse coping mechanisms, for sure. I hope that it won't be long before you don't need to 'cope' anymore.

Just keep doing what you're doing. You will be fine.
