We all have our problems, some big, some small, and if you're feeling rough because of them, even if small compared to others, these problems will have an affect on you because its happening to you.
I was feeling emotionally rough last weekend but I've turned it into a positive by doing something about it. I've started a new diet, bought a new pair of shoes and planning on doing some other stuff to make myself feel better. And yes, seeing what other people are going through can help you gain some perspective in your life.
I'll stop writing drivel now ;o)
