Like a hot bath for feelings, complaining offers respite for the weariest (and crabbiest) of souls. Companions in Misery is a series of self-explorative tools that encourage participants to be comfortable in embracing their ‘bad’ emotions through the act of griping and rumination. Each component draws from the wisdom of pessimism to aid users in understanding the nature of their dark moods and how focusing on what is wrong can serve them in ways not immediately recognisable.
