    Ignoring the problem is to cope with horror of “having to admit to the problem and then doing something about it”.

        I feel this. I can hear the people singing the song of angry men, but I am one body and cannot do anything about it myself. I know, I know, organize; but I can hardly leave the house without a panic attack, so maybe I can’t do it, but I would love to help in whatever way I could…

        The main point they provide is that ‘we can’t do anything’, their form of cope is ‘we can’t do anything’, and since they believe that to continue functioning, they genuinely do not do anything, only mildly support some movements or something, being careful not to support anything that may affect them because ‘atleast i should be able to continue living like this’
