How to Get Over Disapointments

Sometimes...somethings happen, or don't happen, or people happen, and you're left crestfallen, sad, angry, desperate....and totally disappointed.
I'm not a shrink or a self-help guru but I thought I'd give my two cents anyway on how I cope with these situations.
Now, these moments really really suck but try if you can not to throw yourself a pity party.  I know it's tempting but this will only make matters worse and make you weaker.  Inversely, don't just bottle up your feelings and pretend that nothing is happening.  You have to accept that the events happened and then move on.  The most important thing is to learn from these experiences.  Sometimes they are wake up calls that we need to be more organized or proactive, and other times it's to let us know not to put to much trust in certain people.  Take that cue and move on.  Easier said than done...and it makes it even more important that you like yourself....cause if you don't and something crashes you won't have much to stand on.

So, to sum up this really short post: Be honest with yourself about what happened, learn from the situation, and remember that you are your own best friend.
