Back in late May/early June, I decided to start watching anime whenever I was really depressed. Suicidal? Watch an episode. Depressed? Another episode.
I have completed five series since then and am working on a sixth.
So yes, I think I have used this as a distraction, almost pathologically at times. Distractions aren't always the best course of action, but sometimes I think it is better to ignore the depressing feelings than to let them take control over you, if only to give your emotions a break for a while.
