Where do you turn to when you need emotional comfort?

Asked by jordym84 (4752points) June 5th, 2013

The reason I ask is because I’m currently going through a rough, emotional patch as a result of something that happened this past weekend. Normally, I can easily get myself out of a rut without much external help, but I’m truly struggling with this one.

There are two people I know I can always turn to for emotional support, but one of them is on her last week of her last semester in college and, with a major like architecture, she’s under a lot of stress with her final projects/presentations. She’s been checking on me periodically via text message and on Skype to see how I’m coping, but I feel bad burdening her with my problems, even though I know she doesn’t mind it. The other friend is in Belize for her honeymoon until Monday and I will not be bugging her at all with my problems this week. The first friend lives in Brazil, the other friend in Texas, and I in Florida, so it’s not like I could just drop by their houses and get a hug with a side of comforting words. But anyway, I’ll get off my soapbox now.

So what about you? Is there someone or something that gives you comfort when you’re feeling down? What is it about them that helps you get through a rough patch? Any words of wisdom/inspirational quotes you’d like to share to help me get out of this funk?

Thank you. :)
