Depends what they are.
Probably not listening to other people's advice may be a good start.
Especially if the other person is me.

Thanks Sam. You've given this sort of advice before haven't you?

Talk about it to people, don't bottle any feelings up, counselling can help but just talking about it with a close friend can be just as useful.
Different stuff works for different people, some people prefer to do something to distract themselves, others like to focus on what's happened.

Wow. I did learn stuff at Uni.

I always like to throw myself wholeheartedly into an exciting new project.

Or, if it's a dying romance thing, go on loads of no-strings dates.

As the profound philosopheress Belinda Carlisle once said, "live your life, be free"

>Thanks Sam. You've given this sort of advice before haven't you?

Actually, kinder, if it's something genuinely upsetting, then I apologize for being stupid.
I just thought if it was really that bad, you wouldn't openly ask a bunch of twats for advice.

>I just thought if it was really that bad, you wouldn't openly ask a bunch of twats for advice.

I know it is an odd play to look for guidance isn't it?

Not that I'm agreeing that either Suii or TJ are 'wizard's sleeves'.

btw Suii in my experience counsellors are often more troubled than their patients and aways seem to have an ingrained rivalry between the patient and themselves as to who is the most pain-striken.

Heheh, tell me about it. 90% of people on my degree course were probably even more fucked up than me! I've always refused 'professional help' preferring to get pissed and talk to a mate instead!

BTW: I think TJ and myself are probably a pair of total Clowns Pockets, and I'd rather be called a twat than almost anything!

I agree - how can such a beautiful thing be a term of abuse?

As overused by TV's Jim Yoakum to describe various people on here...

A good counsellor can work wonders.

The trouble with psychiatrists is that they have their own pet theory, and get very annoyed with patients that won't conform to it.

I had no end of trouble with one who wouldn't believe that, with a Catholic upbringing, I didn't have a problem with my mum.

psychiatrists and counsellors are two very different professionals.

I didn't mean to imply anyone was a twat. Certainly not TJ or Suiii.

Sam, we think it's a compliment! We like to be called that! Or, as Liza Tarbuck calls us, "exciting"! heheheh!



And we know you weren't calling us twats, we're just messing!

I just think by being frivolous in reply to kinder's cry for help, I've dug myself into a tight corner.

Hope all is okay.

>What is the best way to get over them?

Time and talking.
Friends/family are great, but sometimes you can't beat a stranger as they're not hung up in the politics of the situation.
(Currently doing grief counselling - damned good! Lots of info on hand if you need it Kinder.)
Hey, if you strike a bad counsellor, go to a different one guys - you'd do the same if you got a bad haircut.

Just how bad would your haircut have to be before you went to a counsellor about it?

Or alternately, seek comfort from the knowledge that evil idents will soon be destroyed bringing peace and happiness to all.

But at the end, as our heroes walk away thinking the job is done, the camera will alight on one ident they felt they had destroyed... slowly twitching back to life... crawling away... to reappear in the 8 or 9 sequels...
