"I gave into it because it was eating away at me. What do I do with that? Swallow it?"
Swallow what? He wasn't doing anything.
It eats away at you because YOU ALLOW it to. You are the one who CHOOSES to concentrate on it. You can just as easily choose to concentrate on something else. Again, GAL. It doesn't mean that you need to go out or party and drink, etc. It means doing something (anything) that gets your mind off of your situation.

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
