poliphilo After spending a couple of afternoons listening to a friend tell me about his unhappiness I chanced upon the following couple of videos.
In the first Mitchell and Webb were playing therapist and client, with Webb's oleaginous therapist going, "That must have been hard" and "what did that make you feel?"- which is pretty much what I had been doing.
And in the second Eckhart Tolle was telling us in his ever so quiet way how people love their pain and resist all attempts to have it taken away because it's all they have- which pretty much explains my friend.
They say the last thing you should do is tell a sufferer to "snap out of it" but I've snapped out of things in the past and I'm not sure there's actually any other way of getting free....
