... I always try to comfort people. When someone's feeling down, depressed, feeling lonely, or just having a bad day, I try to make that person laugh, forget his problems, tickle his funny bone, give him words of comfort, tell him that everything will be alright, and I tell him to 'count his blessings.' It feels nice to be able to help someone or be there for someone.
Now I find myself in the same situation...feeling down...feeling lonely...a bit sad...and I'm alone...no one to comfort me...no one to share my problems with.........hmmm......it's so quiet in here.....what now?
I guess I'll have to slap myself and say "wake up!" Practice what you preach. Give myself words of comfort. Tell myself to count my blessings. Tell myself to forget the problem. Make myself laugh? how?
Tickling myself won't work. Besides, I will look stupid doing so. What can i say to myself to make me laugh....what can i say to make me feel good about myself....
Oh, well. Best thing to do is to simply hang on and let that lousy feeling pass. Tomorrow's another day. Life is good. It just gets bumpy every now and then. SHIT HAPPENS. At least I'm glad I'm not a piece of toilet paper. At least I won't be used to wipe shit all the time.
