Has anyone found an effective way to deal with the sadness of SSM?

I've come to terms with the reality that my sitch may not change, and I've accepted that. But I can't seem to get past the sadness of it. Some days are better than others, but the bad days feel like a hole through the middle of me.

Is this just me or do others have this, too? If it's just me, fine. (Another reason to kill myself ASAP.) But if this is common to others, how do you make it go away?
