How to Make Yourself Miserable

by Windy Dryden

Making yourself miserable is remarkably easy. You can torture yourself thinking up all the things your partner could be doing wile you are working late, or you might prefer to make a list of the serious diseases you could be suffering from. It also pays to be what better excuse for behaving badly towards family and friends and even taking time off work. This amusing look at popular self destructive strategies shows just how much control we can take over our lives . . .if we want to.
