Romans 8:35-39 (New International Version)
35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36As it is written:
"For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered."[a] 37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[b] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

2 Corinthians 1:3-11
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.
We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about the hardships we suffered in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life. Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many."
Not only should we turn to God for comfort, but we should turn to others for comfort. Seek out other family members, members of your church, your pastor, or someone you can sit down and talk with. God will use others to guide you in His comfort.

Psalm 55.....all of it, but
Verse 8 states that He has our tears in a bottle.
He knows.
Psalm 37 has always given me comfort as well.
I pray that you will feel better.

I suppose any fairtale book can get your mind off of someone hurting or disappointing you. Why limit yourself to just the Bible?
Personally, I find going for a long drive, especially through nature, is best for putting myself in a better mood when someone hurts me. Just the act of getting away from the person, letting my emotions subside, and coming back to it from a more rational level helps to deal with situations such as this.
Also, it helps to keep reminding yourself that you have to live for yourself, not others. If you base your value of yourself on what other people think of you, you'll always be disappointed. Others around you do have great value and can give you great advice in life. However, as Shakespear said, "To thine own self be true".

I think you just need to realize that people will hurt and/or disappoint you occasionally, just as you will hurt and disappoint them. Get over it and move on.
