Feeling sorry for myself

I've very busy this week feeling sorry for myself. I have to
stop this, now. I've been neglecting a lot of other things that I
should have been doing, like fixing the things that have been depressing
me (well, as much as I can fix. There are a lot of situations about
which I can do nothing, but I could change my attitute with regard to
them and that might help a lot).
And worse yet, I've been neglecting my friends. There have been
a lot of times, when I knew someone else was upset, but I was too
wrapped up in myself and my problems to listen to anyone else's. I'm
sorry. You may not know who you are, but most of you read this meeting,
and I'd like to publicly apologize for not being there when I should
have been, and for dumping my troubles on those who already have more
than their share of their own.
And thanks to all the people who offered to listen to me, even
if I didn't take you up on the offer. I'm sorry if I was rude in
refusing, but there were a few times where I felt like I was barely
hanging on to my sanity, and the mere presence of a another person would
have pushed me over the edge.
And finally, one question: Why do I always feel like I have to
apologize for posting here?
