Gal, we're all self-centered a lot of the time-- it's human nature. When we're in pain, we focus on ourselves even more. There's nothing wrong with that.

I'm sorry you're hurting so much. Remember that it will change-- just like the good times end, so do the bad times.

Why not take advantage of your self-focus and give yourself some extra care? Is there anything besides ice cream you can do to make yourself feel better? Here are some things that have worked for me in the past..
- journaling
- send myself some positive messages, praise, validation, affirmations
- eat something nutritious and tasty like fruit
- pop a chewable vitamin or calcium supplement
- grooming ritual, brush & floss teeth, comb hair, anything to make myself feel cared-for.
- curl up in bed and watch a movie
- a little low-effort yoga (savasana is the best-- dead body pose, basically just lying on the floor)
- clean up the kitchen
- take a walk
- look for inspirational websites
- just sit with the discomfort, as if you're sitting with a friend who feels bad
- vent about it on PB
