Agree, don't bury yourself in work. The problems do not go away, they just fester.

To me, it depends if you can do something about it. Burying yourself in work does take your mind off it. Of course, if you need to resolve it, then it's a bad idea, but in the case of say, a loved one in hospital, where all you can do is wait, then I like the solution of burying yourself in work.

Disagree, bury yourself in your work. I left my gf a year ago, have thrown myself into my work, setup my own business, and I am pulling in a lot more money from that. I can almost quit fulltime work.

Apparently this method works well for heartbreaks :).
