Some coping skills could create bigger problems in your life. Here are some examples of unhealthy coping skills: </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_75-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <ul id="mntl-sc-block_76-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> <li><strong>Drinking alcohol or using drugs</strong>: Substances may temporarily numb your pain, but they won’t resolve your issues. Substances are likely to introduce new problems into your life. Alcohol, for example, is a depressant that can make you feel worse. Using substances to cope also puts you at risk for developing a substance use disorder and it may create health, legal, financial problems, and social problems.</li> <li><strong>Overeating</strong>: Food is a common coping strategy. But, trying to "stuff your feelings" with food can lead to an <a href="https://www.verywellmind.com/stress-and-emotional-eating-how-to-stop-3144528" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="1">unhealthy relationship with food</a> and health issues. Sometimes people go to the other extreme and restrict their eating (because it makes them feel more in control) and clearly, that can be just as unhealthy.</li> <li><strong>Sleeping too much</strong>: Whether you take a nap when you’re stressed out or you sleep late to avoid facing the day, sleeping offers a temporary escape from your problems. However, when you wake up, the problem will still be there.</li> <li><strong>Venting to others</strong>: <a href="https://www.verywellmind.com/why-do-we-complain-8733727" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="2">Talking about your problem</a>s so that you can gain support, develop a solution, or see a problem in a different way can be healthy. But studies show repeatedly <a href="https://www.verywellmind.com/complaining-why-do-we-do-it-3144857" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="3">venting to people</a> about how bad your situation is or how terrible you feel is more likely to keep you stuck in a place of pain.<span class="ql-inline-citation" data-cite="4"></span></li><span class="mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot-inline"></span> <li><strong>Overspending</strong>: While many people say they enjoy <a href="https://www.verywellmind.com/retail-therapy-and-stress-3145259" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="4">retail therapy</a> as a way to feel better, shopping can become unhealthy. Owning too many possessions can add stress to your life. Also, spending more than you can afford will only backfire in the end and cause more stress.</li> <li><strong>Avoiding</strong>: Even “healthy” coping strategies can become unhealthy if you’re using them to avoid the problem. For example, if you are stressed about your financial situation, you might be tempted to spend time with friends or watch TV because that’s less anxiety-provoking than creating a budget. But if you never resolve your financial issues, your coping strategies are only masking the problem. </li> </ul> <div id="mntl-sc-block_77-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <div id="wellness-sc-block-callout--explainer_4-0" class="comp wellness-sc-block-callout--explainer wellness-sc-block-callout-base mntl-sc-block-callout mntl-block theme-explainer theme-explainer" data-tracking-id="mntl-sc-block-callout" data-tracking-container="true"><h3 id="mntl-sc-block-callout-heading_4-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block-callout-heading mntl-text-block">Recap</h3> <div id="mntl-sc-block-callout-body_5-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block-callout-body mntl-text-block expert-content"><p>Unhealthy coping techniques—such as drinking or avoiding the problem—may offer some temporary relief, but they tend to make things worse in the long run.
