my therapist used to told me that; having emotion and feeling is what human does. if you're great at expressing yourself, then it's a gift! i learned it hard way our feelings are always there, either it's all happiness, anger, along with the sadness too. i don't try to cope— nonetheless, i live with it. i accept that i am sad and do something, cry if i could, to release that emotion so i wouldn't collapse at the end (which is worse, honestly)
