I once heard, I think from that Dr Drew guy, who seems to be more than some gimmicky celebrity therapist, that the best therapy in any and all situations is to give to others. The mere act of helping other people makes you feel better about yourself, no matter what your ailment is.

I think the may be on to something.

What do you think?

It makes me feel good when I am able to help someone, it distracts me from my own problems and makes me feel useful. xosophsxo
