MoonTurtle,

I'm so sorry that you've been feeling this way. I can sympathize as I'm going through a similar experience myself right now. Lisa Michelle had some excellent suggestions. You're probably going to laugh at my suggestion, but I've found that what works for me when I feel like that is to say to myself:

"As much as you (meaning myself of course) might wish it were different, the world does not revolve around you." Then I try to look at the situation I'm in from someone else's viewpoint and think what might be helpful for them.

This may not help you at all, but I had to throw it out there. I hope you find your "happy place" and feel better soon.

slow
