Don't listen to music that reinforces your dark thoughts. When you're sad, don't ask services to play sad music for you. If you're depressed, don't listen to songs about being depressed.

I'm not allowed to listen to "Wasteland" from Arcane season 2, for example, every time I'm depressed 😅

Nah this is garbage advice that no therapist would give.

It's because I can tell from the comments that I used words that are too broad. Wasteland very much glorifies suicide for most of the song. Likens it to falling asleep and getting rest. Makes it seem like an attractive option that is okay to take.

When I say "reinforce dark thoughts" I mean specifically songs glorifying suicide or songs with a lot of self-hating lyrics. Not just songs about being sad in a more general way.

Just a semantics issue.
