works for me, may work for you?
Make a bit of a thing of what you're facing, and of how well you're coping, while it's still not too bad. So, when merely dramatic and interesting turns into lifeissternandlifeisearnest ........ because you've been implying your're coping cooly and bravely......... well, you're rather obliged then to deal with it cooly and bravely!!
