For me, and of course this is me, I immerse myself. Work, yep give me more...I'll do twice as much as anyone. If I find that I have some dead time? I'll sign up for something to fill that space of time, so I'm not thinking anymore....anything. I will be the busiest person that I can be until I can't even stop to think.

I am pretty sure that a lot of guys have a button to turn off emotions. Just block that shit out for awhile. Watch out when it comes back, but until then all those thoughts are just sort of scooted to the back burner, to deal with another day.

There's a trade off to having that button though. People need to feel the hurt or pain sometimes. Feeling pain is part of the healing process. It is the first step. You deny yourself that pain, through alcohol, or drugs, or simply ignoring the hurt, you dont even begin to heal.
Again, this is just me. And I am the worst person in the world at fixing my own problems. In my life, I seem to be the "fixer of other people's problems" but mine can wait.
