When I get depressed and moody, I usually like to put on some dark depressing music to match my mood. Of course this just propels the downward spiral, making me feel even worse. Anyone else do stupid things like that, like looking at old photos, letters, music, etc?

Also, does anyone ever feel like they need a good cry once and a while? I do, and it feels good every few months just to let out some emotions.

Crabs do you think yhou are sensitive—
A fish can drown in emotions....literally drown in tears..after a good cry..all is good again.
When Im in a mood like this, I self-heal...I stay at home wallow in self pity, cry, shout, get drunk and the next day Im as good as new.
