Good list of suggestions LiLL.
I must admit though, I could do #4. 'Pretend' only for so long. I have a history of 'stuffing' what I really feel. A sign that I've done it for too long is when I explode...apparently for 'no reason'!
I've found it best to be honest with what I'm feeling, 'at the time I'm feeling it' so it doesn't build momentum when stuffing it.
But then again, I'm no longer in an alcoholic/abusive relationship that I was once in either.
