I'm addicted to drama. I need the elevated emotions in order to connect with characters or to just feel inspired. Ideally I can achieve this with dramatic music, a heart wrenching film, or something like that. But then sometimes I end up triggering real depressive episodes which, of course, was not my goal.

So the lesson I've learned is that it's ok to want to feel sad by say connecting with a sad song. But because of our problems, we need to be more careful about it.
