I guess I always had at least one F left to give. Still, I was beside myself. I looked at the other self sitting next to me and said, "Self, You are a pitiful sight." My other self looked up at me with abysmal sorrow and, while holding back a tear, and said, "Yeah." Then he stared back at the ground. So I (that being myself) said, "To make yourself feel better, why don't you do something nice for yourself." His (my other self's) expression lightened. "Like what?" he said. "Like find a better job, one that you can do for fun AND profit; like find another girlfriend that you actually love, that's not so mean; like put yourself through school. Not ready for that yet? How about making yourself a nice {fill in favorite recipe here}. Give up a bad habit? Take a nap? Listen to music? Whatever it takes. You see, I've always had one F left to give. Otherwise I wouldn't have done any of those things Then I found that Fs beget Fs. That is, you do yourself a favor once and you think, "Hey, I'm a pretty nice guy, to myself. I think I'll do myself ANOTHER favor." And so it goes until you have as many Fs as Welby, and apparently, that's a lot.

When I look at F set-up how you describe them, I realize I've been pretty low at times. And have also approached it sort of like you have described here. And it does help me, to sort of go at it like you describe.
I woke up sort of scared, creepy today.
But onward I go.
