It's allright ^^ Everyone can feel a little (or even more than just a little) down, no matter how bad it is -or can be-, as long as you know and can look forward to that there are better times, accept the difficult times, and accept other people into your life who might be able to help you, or at least ease the pain somewhat.

As long as you accept your faults, and learn in some shape or form to deal with them in a more efficient and appropriate way, you can change and feel better ^^
