OK, to answer this again. I'm finding, the answer is no. It's best for me to not engage with the negativity like that. I function better if I stay out if my head. If it has to come up later, OK. But I won't allow it longer than a couple of seconds, I then have to remind myself that the reality around me exists, that's what exists and not the negative stuff, that I have the power to stay outside of that crap, and that there's lots of good, interesting, exciting, enjoyable or just satisfying things to do.

Of course, I did have to process through negatives more closely before but then I really wanted to have a life again and I processed enough. I got ready to find the positive again after the negative. It was time to do that.
