Maybe the problem is you're trying to "feel good" rather than confront feeling bad. My recommendation is Simone de Beauvoir's Ethics of Ambiguity.

I've found it very insightful for helping to recognize your own behaviors that are effectively ways of denying the true existential questions that are haunting you throughout your life.
