Are coping mechanisms sinful? | 412teens.org

Do you ever use coping mechanisms to get through stressful situations or anxious thoughts? Is there anything wrong with self-soothing when we’re feeling distressed? Today, let’s talk about what the Bible says about coping mechanisms.

[@PeterL519]

would a certain coping mechanism be "bad" if it doesn't necessarily help me or I forget to apply it in a time of distress? just a question I was curious about

[@412teens]

There are 2 considerations in your question, and they have different answers, so we'll go with each of those:
1. "Doesn't necessarily help" - That is not a coping mechanism then. ;)
2. "Forget to apply it" - If it IS helpful and you forget to use it, that doesn't make it "bad." What makes it an unhealthy coping mechanism is if it is causing you and/or others harm when you do it.
