Is drowning sad feelings with sad music/film/literature healthy? What do you guys and gals think?
I spent the holidays with my brother and his family, he's probably my best friend since I don't have close friends outside family members, plus I love my nieces so much! I always have great time with him. But he moved to another country this year.
So, when I was on the plane back home I was suddenly overwhelmed by sadness and nostalgia. I have recently found out that drowning sad feelings with even sadder ones helps me with dealing with the first ones, but I'm not sure if throwing myself into an extreme sadness state is very healthy. I'm the type of person who cries when reading the bad news on the newspaper after all...
