I don't think this is the direction you wanted your post to take ... but ...
I think it's best to think about the sad (and bad) stuff with a skilled professional. That gives the pain a purpose. Now, even though I'm in therapy, trust me, I still feel sad or think about sad or painful things all the time. But it's helpful for me to know that I can unload my mind and sort it out with my T.
My T would say that hard as we try to avoid thinking about our issues, they come up again and again, just in different disguises. I love those moments when she points out my emotional displacement of a situation, an AAAHHHH moment.
I don't think it's pointless, especially because you have the ability to make connections, not everyone can do that. You're very insightful.
Sorry you're thinking about stuff that feels sad.
