Accepting unhappiness makes you happier, feeling bad about feeling bad makes you feel worse

All alone on the edge of sleep
My old familiar friend
Comes and lies down next to me
And I can see it coming from the edge of the room
Smiling in the streetlight even with my eyes shut tight
I still see it coming now

thanks for your help. that actually look like a 2010 paper from a different publication, but i did eventually find this 2017 paper on ebscohost:

Ford, B. Q., Lam, P., John, O. P., & Mauss, I. B. (2017, July 13). The Psychological Health Benefits of
Accepting Negative Emotions and Thoughts: Laboratory, Diary, and Longitudinal Evidence. Journal
of Personality and Social Psychology. Advance online publication.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/pspp0000157
