  17. I've never heard this before, can you elaborate on what you mean by "don't misuse it to cope"? Gratitude is a great harmless proactive positive coping mechanism, especially for depression, stress and trauma. How would one "misuse" it?

  20. @Average Investor @Ingit @Strange Loop Thank you all, it means a lot to me that you took the time to read all that, sorry it was so long! I have gone to therapy and talked and cried a lot which was cathartic. One is always left with "survivor's guilt" though, like the proverbial captain abandoning ship. I'm the sort of person who hates giving up on anything, I like to work on something till I've found a solution. But in that situation, it was like banging my head against a brick wall. So in the end I had to let go and let God. However awesome and beautiful I make my own life from here on, I feel though that there will always be a bitter sweetness about it that I just have to learn to live with.
