[Oh, she knows. Just . . . what is life without trolling the newbies a little bit?]

You've got two choices here. You can flail around or get pissed off or whatever. I've tried that one. It doesn't work. At the end of the day, you're pissed off and you're still here.

Or you can accept that even though it's stupid and freaky and probably any other word you can come up with, you're stuck here for a while. You take your breaks when you can get them, make whatever life you can when you can, and keep moving.
