In a long line of questions to come, I am again asking for your help.
Disappointment is inevitable and disappointment is out of your control. When you are feeling disappointed what do you do to keep from getting angry or depressed?

Hi there! I was referred to your web site by Dr. Mark Goulston. So, here's what I do when I'm depressed: I tell myself that I am OK and that this will soon pass...maybe not today, or tommorow, but someday at sometime, it will. By pushing myself forward, no matter how lousy I might feel, its that motiviation to "bounce back" which keeps me hangin' around. It's not how many times you get knocked down that matters, it's how many times you get up off the canvas that counts (I think that was a paraphrase of a Muhammad Ali quote, I think).
I say, "This is something that happens to human beings.... AND I'M A HUMAN BEING!" (emphasis because this reminds me that I shouldn't need reminding of this)
It gets you in touch with the sort of statistical likelihood of being disappointed.
