Here's a few helpful hints:
I heard a great pop song once that really helps me put things in perspective when it gets unbearable. The chorus went, "Iife is life, na-na, na-na, na-na". The song was really insipid and repeated this over and over again. If I had a .wav I could send it to you.
The other quasi mantra is "the whole of the human race and all of time and space...doesn't mean sh*t to a tree".
You could also try listening to the Monty Python theme from the end scene to Life of Brian "Always look on the bright side of Life". If you have seen the movie the context couldn't be more ironic. I have it as the .wav file that plays when my laptop shuts down.
Lastly, you could try colonic irrigation. I have been told a self serve car wash can work rather well as a "self serve" facility. I'd go with water only and stay away from the engine cleaner setting.
