Three particular points to highlight:

-          “…you need to bring yourself out of it after awhile, otherwise you can get stuck in a state of deep distress and despair.”

-          “Although you probably yearn for someone to take care of you at these times, there may be no one there who can do that. Depending on people that way can be problematic… Being “parented” can rarely fulfill an unmet need from the past, so even if someone tries to take care of you….you can get very dependent on them. They can get bewildered or fed up. So it is very important that you learn to nurture yourself.” 

  -          [learning to nurture yourself] “is a skill that takes practice” (and I would add patience!)
