coping mechanisms.

You can only spend so much time in the hospital without meeting a plethora of people. Well that is exactly what happened to me. After spending about a month in the hospital, I met many people, some of which i have become very close to. It is so easy to make these friends because we all have one thing in common! Seeing as we have one thing in common, we have spent a multitude of time in the hospital, there was one specific thing that we would be definitely talking about. That one thing is the way in which we have coped with the difficult times in our lives. Some people said that they coped by hiding or denying the fact that there was anything wrong with them, while the others took it on head first. This seems to be the most effective way, because those who took their ailment on head first definitely had a more positive attitude and were all around happier people. Although that is what I saw in many people, every person is different.
