Sometimes the only way to deal with bad emotions is to go through them. It's good to take time and recognize your emotions and explore them, if that makes sense. Listening to sad songs might help with that and it helps you feel not alone because someone else feels bad too.

It is important to not dwell too much or else you might turn into a teenage angst version of me and no one wants that.
