1) you are not alone
2) misery loves company
I learned both of these a couple days after the storm. I'd been feeling sorry for myself for having no power AND being powerless, convinced everyone else was having a better time of it. Then I went out and talked to people and discovered that everybody else was struggling, too--and that, perversely, made me feel better.
Oh, and I also learned that I should clean out my fridge and freezer more often. Yikes, what a load of crud in there!
