Patient: Doctor! Doctor! Every time I drink coffee I get this stabbing pain in my eye!! What can I do?

Doctor: Take the spoon out.

Lightthecandle: you are feeding your pain. I know how that goes! Maybe you need to feed your pain right now, really gorge on it and make yourself sick of it. Listen to the schmoopiest of lyrics, cry in the shower, really get all messy and flabby with your emotions, until you've had enough.

And then add Variations on a Theme by Thomas Tallis, by Ralph Vaughan Williams, to your iPod, listen to it and be uplifted.

You don't need to be strong. You're fine.
