Do you need some help rationalizing that

- I will tell myself...yea but think how much WORSE it would have been had I not done it!!

So if I thought the day was bad even though I "protected" myself with the ritual, can you imagine what it would have been like if I hadn't?? Ok...I'm not helping right!! Perhaps I'm just pointing out that one's mind can twist things every which way to justify behaviours.....
