It doesn't make me feel better, per se, but they can coax out crying which can be cathartic.

It's so weird because music has the capacity to change your mood, but when I'm sad I listen to sad music. Listening to happy music might be better, but I don't feel happy enough to want to hear happy music. 🤷🏻‍♂️😭

Yes, absolutely. It affirms that I’m not alone in my frustration and sadness. I like songs that have an upbeat or energetic feel alongside the dark lyrics though, it helps get me boppin’.

I really want to like that show, I haven't figured out how to yet.

Sometimes it does because hearing the music might make me emotional and help to get the emotion and thoughts swirling out of my head. The emotional release can be very relieving.
