The feelings aren't the biggest problem, even feelings like that should be examined and worked through. Just because someone says their feelings are valid doesn't make them correct or feelings they should keep. Just that their feelings are real, no less so than anyone else's.

I feel like shit right now my about 13 year old cat passed away recently. My depression is valid, it's real, but it's not something I should strive to hold onto not would it justify me acting like an asshole.

It's honestly a shame imo that establishing someone having valid feelings has turned into the way they're acting because of them is right. Someone's actions can be a lot more valid. The reasons or actions might be bunk as hell, the core feeling is their feelings. People often don't even want to be feeling what it is they're feeling.

Many people have really really shitty feelings from time to time, and don't say or do something stupid because of them. They work through them, they examine them. They come to a different conclusion once they can work through them.
