I've got an alternate idea. I have always felt best whenever I helped others. Not only does it take your mind off your own issues, but it gives you some perspective. It gets you out of yourself and gives you some peace of mind, as well as being a benefit to people who are even more destitute and in need.
There's a ton of pain through-out the world right now -- Haiti being foremost on everyone's minds. If you can't give money, give your time and energy. Volunteer. You will receive as much as you give -- I promise.
