Recently psychologists have found that gloomy mood to make us feel better. While the smile in those moments when the smile does not want, in contrast, contributes to depression, according to vesti.ru.

At the moment, researchers can only speculate about why the negative would discharge us from within, like a storm cloud, where’s the sun comes out, but the fact remains.
“Perhaps, if you know what you have is a bad mood, and you accepted it, you don’t give him so much attention, says moss. – And, quite likely, if you constantly suppress their negative emotions, they accumulate, gradually devouring you from the inside”.
In the course of the study, which was published by the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, revealed that people who try to immediately deal with the negative and in any case not to release him, the more psychologically tense. At the same time, those who admits in your life sadness, frustration, resentment and anger, you feel generally more comfortable.
