I rarely cry, but when I used to get depressed, at the lowest point, when I felt sorrowful emotions most strongly, that was usually the point where I got off my butt to do something about it. In that way giving in to the emotion, rather than trying to distract myself from facing them, was the kick in the butt I needed to change them.
