It’s crap and sometimes nothing can help. However, the thought that 100 years ago I wouldn’t have made it through 30+ years of stabbing myself sort of puts it in perspective. Although we all feel down about ‘it’ now and again it really is a case of thinking about those who’ve not been as lucky in life’s lottery. I have a friend who is currently fighting the latter stages of cancer and I know how lucky I am to be in a modern world that can, relatively, manage my condition.
So in summary, nup, nothing I say can make you feel better and it’s normal to feel down about it but, and it is a big but, the things outside our testing and occasionally weird behaviour, such as friends and family are much more important.
