I think sometimes we just need to try things ourselves to figure out that T was right. That's not always a bad thing as long as you can get yourself out of a bad situation relatively unscathed.
Do you have any close friends or family that could give you a well deserved and warm hug? That may be the safest way for you to go at this time. As a matter of fact, take your left hand and put it on your right shoulder, now take your right hand and put it on your left shoulder....now squeeze tight! You hugged yourself and there is no better hug in the world than to hug ourselves!
In the mean time...here is a couple of cyber hugs for you
Take good care!
