I can only think these people have no life; like those who get too engrossed in soap operas, they seek artificial companionship in scripted relationships. What they need is a heavy dose of responsiblity! Try getting more active with the grandkids, do some charity work for the have-nots, anything to get involved in living and doing rather than feeling sorry for yourself. Life doesn't cheat you...you cheat yourself by bowing out of it!
But, then, some people can't stop smoking! Easier to say
"I've tried; I'm addicted." OK...it WAS your life!
You are absolutely correct. It's like the time when they asked then candidate Bush what he would do if he lost the election to Al Gore. He said he would go back to his home in Texas and continue to live his life. Al Gore on the other hand had nothing else after that even though he had a family. He went to pieces. This is the same ilk seeking professional help.
I would think you would seek professional help for something really worthwhile like after 9-11. THAT made people depressed and sad and feeling badly but....they all pulled together and did what they could to help those who were in a terrible world of hurt.
If these people have to seek help over an election result all I can say is I'm glad their party LOST. Heaven forbid should they suffer some kind of attack...they would fold run in a closet and suck their thumbs while everyone else put themselves in harms way to help others.
It's so typical anymore of what they will say and do it's sickening. Losers all and THAT was proven on election day.
We have the right man at the right time and thank God all his supporters are strong and can and have stood up under immense pressure unlike the opposition and their following.
By the way, I quit smoking in 1989. Put my cigarettes on the windowsill, began walking 4 miles and day and never looked back. :)
