I mean that isn’t exactly what they’re saying but it can still be the effect, yes. It’s also a problem of clinical psychology and psychiatry in general, really.

I think you can dull the edge of unhappiness by making the best of your situation. Give yourself little treats. Go out to eat at the pizza buffet. Discover some game at the game shop that hasn’t gotten much attention yet. Go to flea markets, garage sales. If you have a good eye you might find something you can resell for more money. Don’t expect that you’ll suddenly be ecstatic from these things, but they are something that might take the edge off.
