you find ways to distract yourself, suppress your feelings or temporarily make everything feel more bearable. at first, it feels like you're taking control of your emotions, but eventually you realise you're not actually dealing with anything. you're just finding different ways to avoid confronting it.

and the problem is that unhealthy coping mechanisms can become so familiar that you start depending on them. you convince yourself that as long as something makes you feel better in the moment, it must be helping. but temporary relief isn't the same as genuine healing.
 
theres a fine line between just coping and a full on delusion that you refuse to accept the truth
