Getting By & Getting Through

I've come to realize that when I'm faced with any sort of obstacle, I get by. I don't try to think about it or analyze the issue as much as I should. Instead, I let it pass me by only to have it come back to haunt me sometime in the future. This can't be healthy. I need to start getting through my problems instead. I need to really look at the issue and deal with my emotions towards what is happening. That might make me a little more vulnerable at times but if you can't deal with your feelings, how are you supposed to deal with anything else in the world?
