healing

Everyone heals differently.

Some people like to shut the world out.  Some go into uber-busy mode. Some gather friends around them.  Others seek professional help.

I like to console myself.  I assess what's going on and talk to those who are really close to me.  But after that I like to work it out on my own.

I don't need to isolate myself and shut everyone out.  I just like quiet time.  Sometimes I read a "self-help" book that has helped in the past.  Sometimes I read fiction for the escapism.  Sometimes watching the television or a favorite movie helps.

There's no rhyme or reason to what will work for me at any given moment when I need to heal, so I try let the situation dictate my plan of action.

How do you heal yourself?
