Hold it there, Lord Agony! Life can’t be that bad, surely. There
was life before you saw her, and there will surely be life after
her. I was in your situation for almost two years until someone
taught me a trick. Everytime you feel that depression coming on sit
quietly somewhere, close your eyes, breathe slowly, and
DEEPLY, ten times, holding the air in your
chest for a slow count of four, exhale and then be glad you are not
a cripple, you are not so bad-looking, and then smile – yes,
SMILE, and keep on smiling even if you feel
silly. You will find that you will actually laugh after that…!
