So, I was just thinking of how whenever I'm in a pissy mood about whatever or whoever, I alwasys have to listen to my favorite angsty songs. I try to liven my mood by listening to upbeat songs sometimes first. Like now, but I'm about to switch over to some darker, angrier songs. I find that I have to do this in order to get rid of my bad mood, sorta like exercising a demon. Sure, if I have a dark mood while in public like with family or at work I can control my emotions and be upbeat but I know eventually I'll have to experience it to get through it. I've always had trouble with emotions. How to deal with them, acknowledging them, etc. Listening to angry (aka: angsty) music helps me through difficult emotions. Like when I'm really sad, I can't listen to a happy song because it'll make me cry. I have to listen to a bunch of songs that eminate my mood until finally I feel better and can't listen to the sad songs anymore because they'll start to bring me down. Also, when I'm in aq super good mood I have to skip all the angsty songs on my various music playlists (usually rock). So, I came to the realization that for me this is a bit like exercising my inner demons, so to speak. Getting rid of negative energy. I was wondering if anyone experiences anything similar, whether with music or some other way?
