True, it helps to have perspective. While I was going through my divorce, my best friend was struggling with putting her husband into a nursing home (he has early-onset dementia as a long-term consequence of a brain injury he had many years ago). She also struggles financially to raise their young son alone on a very limited income.
Compared to her, I had NO problems. A fairly amicable divorce and reasonable financial stability. I would remind myself that loads of people go through divorces every day and this was not the end of the world.
