Misery loves company, and sometimes sadness just broods other sadness. This is for you, fellow gluttons for punishment.

unicorns_and_vodka asked When you're feeling down what's the most depressing song you listen to make you feel even more depressed?

Submissions have been edited for clarity, context, and profanity.

It's like middle school all over again.

I Miss You, Blink-182.

For those really, really deep feels...

[rebelmouse-image 18354961 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Fourth of July - Sufjan Stevens.

Well now I'm miserable too, thanks.

[rebelmouse-image 18354962 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

"Heaven knows I'm miserable now" by The Smiths. I like that the melody is extremely upbeat, but the lyrics are a total downer that I relate to immensely lol.

My favorite line is "two lovers entwined pass me by, and heaven knows I'm miserable now."

R.I.P. Chester.

Leave Out All The Rest - Linkin Park.

Ah, the rabbit hole of "I'm lonely, omg, more."

[rebelmouse-image 18354964 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Hallelujah, the Rufus Wainwright version.

IMHO: one of the most hauntingly beautiful pieces of music ever written.

[rebelmouse-image 18354965 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

The Lacrimosa from Mozart's Requiem.

Daddy issues FTW.

[rebelmouse-image 18354966 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Cats in the cradle by Harry Chapin.

Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you.

[rebelmouse-image 18354967 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Hate Me- Blue October.

When I couldn't get a girl as a teen... oh, wait.

[rebelmouse-image 18354968 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

No Doubt - Don't Speak.

Tears. Every time.

[rebelmouse-image 18354969 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Tears in Heaven is about Eric Clapton asking his 4-year-old son who died falling out a window if he would even recognize him in heaven since he died so young.

A day in the life of a Millennial.

[rebelmouse-image 18354970 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Boulevard of Broken Dreams - Green Day.

Always a winner at karaoke.

[rebelmouse-image 18354972 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Lullaby by Billy Joel. It's so sweet and a little sad sounding, and it's from a dad who loved his kid. My dad left and didn't love me, and now he's dead. So yeah, that song tears me up.

For those long, late-night walks.

[rebelmouse-image 18354973 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Pretty much anything by Portishead.

When you feel like you don't belong there...

[rebelmouse-image 18354974 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Creep by Radiohead.

Adding this one again, because Mozart's untimely death is sad af. And no, Salieri didn't wite the Reqiuem. Mozart died after writing the Lacrymosa.

[rebelmouse-image 18354976 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Not a song per se but Mozart's Requiem.

No, I'm not trying to be an edgy Redditor who thinks he's the hottest shit.

It just depresses me, especially the haunting vocals in the Lacrymosa part. The real sad part is that Mozart died so young, which makes me realize how, dunno, fitting fleeting life really is.

The more you know, the more you cry.

[rebelmouse-image 18354977 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Amazing by Blue October, some of his songs are good for this. If you don't know, the lead singer has bipolar disorder and sings a lot about his life and emotions, it can be beautiful and sometimes heart wrenching.

100%.

[rebelmouse-image 18354978 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

My Immortal - Evanescence.

When you just want to recuse yourself from existence...

[rebelmouse-image 18354979 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Goo Goo Dolls - Iris :(.

Pretty much anything sung by Stevie Nicks continues the cycle...

[rebelmouse-image 18354980 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Landslide - Fleetwood Mac.

Save this for your absolute last wit.

[rebelmouse-image 18354982 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Untitled - Simple Plan.

With more people exercising their right to live a childfree life, or to at least start their families later than people used to, it's important for people to have access to forms of birth control that work for them.

For some, that means getting a vasectomy, but there are aspects to the procedure that most wish they had known before making the appointment.

The mundane activities we do on a daily basis put us into auto-pilot, where we don't have to think about what we're doing.

This occurs every day. But maybe we shouldn't assume things will always go well.

Think about it. Drivers who commute don't have to concern themselves with how to get to work or school. But can you assume the drivers with whom you share the road are safe drivers?

Diners at restaurants don't have to worry about eating the foods prepared for them. Are you sure there aren't any foreign–possibly sharp–objects in your entree?

Even acts that are simple as stepping into the shower early in the morning don't have to worry about a single thing.

Did you watch Final Destination?

Everyone has a different relationship with hygiene.

While some people wash their hands every time they enter a new room, and never leave home without a bottle of hand sanitizer, others might not care where their hands have been as they bust open a bag of chips.

However, one thing that both parties have in common is that over time, they might have developed certain practices related to their own personal hygiene that are unique to them.

Helping them either make sure their hands, teeth, and body are as clean as can possibly be or help them get things done as speedily, if not as effectively, as possible.
