A couple of years ago, when I was in almost over my head in a five-day trial, I made up a list of ways of coping with stress. I thought about writing a book, a chapter on each way. Here it is: Denial. Anesthesia. Gluttony. Drink. Evading responsibility. Avoiding responsibility. Shirking. Displacing hostility. Displaying hostility. Hostility. Soothing mechanisms. Fantasy. Adopting maxims. Hypervigilance. Paranoia. Maintaining a tight rein on emotions. Rest and relaxation. Panic. Hysteria. Compulsive nit-picking over trivial details. Joking. Venting. Exploding. Gossiping. Counterproductive actions. Chris suggested - procrastination.
