Me too, sub_nouveau, Me too.
The horrows people/ men(?) put other people through....

Thinking of other peoples hardship tends to make you feel humble- at least, that is how it works for me-

I say nowadays; - i am good. there is no worry...compare to.others...
having a house, a income, caring friends, some family- enough healthy food... no worrys!

It is not self indulgence. It is simply being introspective.

It is all a matter of relativities! There are always people worse off eg iraq

Yes, we must be sympathetic but we are also human! We can indulge ourselves but, as you say, keep things in perspective!

You have a very effective set of coping mechanisms, one of which you've just described. You're not wallowing in self-pity. You're venting, which is very healthy in your case, because you know how to recognize it and right the ship.

I was doing the same thing the other day until I realized I was in a hole and remembered that the first rule of holes is to stop digging. You're well on your way to the second rule: start filling. In your case you fill with compassion.

Love you girl.

Me too hunni...Having been in the Military i can honestly say with hand on heart that i have seen way more signs that the Devil is all around us than any God....to the extent where i wonder if this IS us all in hell after our first lives ended...So many horrendous things happen to good people when predators child molesters and all evil beings seem to just wander through life unscathed and with no conscience or torment...but then i remind myself of how many *angels* there are amongst us...every nurse...doctor...fire fighter....paramedics....police...and soldiers who jump into action when others need their skills and capabilities....You having a *beat myself up* day happens to us all....we wouldn't be human if we didn't have them...In the scheme of things you seem to be a very talented intelligent and wonderful woman who is now even more complete having found your *HIM*....we all *wallow* hunni...but if you're made of the right stuff...as you are...it won't consume you and it will pass pretty promptly....as it did....being equipped to weather the storm is a precious gift that not everyone is lucky enough to have....you have it in abundance so had i been around you today during your short *wallow* i would have grinned to myself knowing you will shake it off as quick as it kicked in...you're a kick arse lady boss....if life gives you a kick...you kick the shit out of life BACK so it doesn't even bother attempting to get to you another time anytime soon...so don't you dare feel that feeling vulnerable and pissed off makes you weak...inevitably it just makes a lady like you even MORE determined to let the world know you''re here..and that you ROCK !!! x

We all have our moments s_n. Be easy on yourself with that.

Though a little shot of perspective is just what we need sometimes. Onward and upward.

Perspective and empathy are always good. I think we could all benefit from both.

Everyone has those woe-is-me moments but it takes someone of true character to recognise, as you have done, that our own troubles are as nothing compared to many around us.

Don't beat yourself up; at least you recognise your good fortune.
