Coping

I have recently found coping methods very fascinating. After watching Whitechapel with DI Chandler having an elastic band that he pings when stressed (well before it broke) and his continuous washing, it made me wonder what methods I used to cope.
Most people reckon stress causes them to stop eating and lose weight... I wish! When stressed I eat more than ever, I got the comfort eating side!
I have realised the stress more lately and I see myself upset and crying, snapping and shouting most of the time without a coping method, always thinking the worst so I can't get any more upset/angry. Angry is something I never really was until lately and now half the time it's the want to physically do something to let out my rage, I normally say I want to punch someone but tbh it's pretty weak anyway!
However I don't actually think this works. 9 times out of 10 thinking of the worst scenario causes me more pain, more tears and more heart ache, but I can't help it.
I try to think of stupid funny situations but those sad emotions over ride and the bad thoughts over ride.
I think I need a better coping method.. Eating isn't working coz then I get upset at the size I am.
This is my project from now on... Let's hope it works!
