I know..I completely agree..Recently I have felt pretty disgusted and selfish when I complain about my problems that are so trivial and nonexistent in the whole "scheme" of things. I was recently very depressed, for no real reason, and I kept crying all the time, etc. I then saw something about this girl who had been literally burned alive in a car accident, Her face was completely burned off after being hit by a drunk driver that hit her car which exploded. She was so positive and upbeat, with such a will to live. It made me sick that I was dwelling on my ridiculously petty issues or lack their of. I think I might volunteer to work in an emergency room or burn unit, or cancer ward, just so I can get a dose of reality and worry about someone other than myself for once... I have to be honest, sometimes when I read these posts of people tetering on the edge of suicide and wanted to end their life, I began to wonder how bad their situations truly are..Perhaps they are bad, or they perceive them as being so terrible.
