I mostly suggest this way of dealing with things because it's the method that has worked for me. I find rationality is a very good way of dealing with emotional problems, though it's possibly true that some people are incapable of dealing with life in this way (which is a shame)

I can perfectly understand what you're saying, it's just in these cases it often seems that there's nothing other people can do really. If I could at least make people realise that thier emotional problems are not rational, that may not make the problem go away, but at least it would give some (possible) comfort?

It's pretty much all I have to offer.
