They'll get over it eventually though. If they don't, tough, but you honestly can't do shit about it. But honestly, I wouldn't recommend doing that, even if you're desperate. Psychiatrists are nothing but trouble, generally speaking. -- Posted by muphnplutonic at 10:29 pm on Oct. 6, 2008 Don't you see a psychologist for depression?
