actually what makes a person feel better rarely ever comes from outside sources...most of our negative or unhappy thoughts are just patterns we have grown used to...we generalize (one things goes wrong and everything sucks) we minimalize the good and maximize the bad (the good things that happen we say it's luck or rare, bad things happen we think it's the end of the world) we see our self-worth as a measurable thing (i can't do this, can't do that, therefore i'm worthless)...really, you're ok, or you can be...just start to think of yourself as ok, something bad happened, someone left you or someone died or something, there are far worse things, you could be in a plane that crashes, or you could be in a plane that's crashing and decide to jump for it and land and break a bunch of stuff and never be able to think or function the same again...it's better to be happy now because things can always be worse
