Er... and also, keep in mind... if you're stuck in a swamp of misfortunes, two rules generally apply:
1) contrary to what you've been brainwashed into believing, either by popular attitudes or by your own pride, it was YOU who got yourself into this mess.
(i.e., maybe you should have given some 'temporary space' to your friend earlier)
2) the best course of action is NOT the one that you're going to immediately agree with, because if such was already your mindset, then you would already be on your way out of your pathetic situation. You don't make change by doing what you've always done, or are "naturally" predisposed to doing.
