I can’t even begin to explain how much this has helped me through hard times, or helped me to prevent them. When you feel depressed or overwhelmed about something, put it in perspective. Is this going to seem so extremely horrible a couple years from now? Is it going to radically and drastically change your entire life for the worse, forever? No; and if it does, it shouldn’t; you just need a bigger perspective. Chances are, people have gone through what you have before- and much worse- and survived. Sucky things happen, but good things happen too, and the good things are better to dwell on. 6 years ago
