I actually disagree somewhat: if I’m feeling terrible, happy music makes me feel worse but something a little similar to my mood is soothing. I think that’s why Marilyn Manson and NIN were so popular Edit: this is to an extent only. Burying yourself in an extremely negative place does make things worse if you spend too much time there or go in too deep

I understand that feeling for sure! One of the common coping strategies (this is a real strategy) my doctors have tried with me is: "Think about how others are in worse situations". But for me that made me feel worse. I'm financially stable, decently intelligent, have been given a great start at life, etc. yet I can't go to the grocery store without having a panic attack? How pathetic is that? On paper I should have nothing to complain about - but the depression SAID NO. So I definitely understand how you feel. It's kinda like how if you just broke up with somebody serious, watching a makeout scene in a movie would just suck.
