I agree with you on the whole thing of 'other people have it worse than you', especially given my situation. A well-meaning friend or two occasionally try this on me. Finally, I pointed out that the fact that I have it better than many (i am in shelter, I have a job, no major health issues, etc.) makes my own situation hurt no less.
