Depression feels good/comfortable?

64% Normal
2 Comments

I'm very depressed, on bipolar and depression medication, and i've been depressed for several years and a self harmer for 6. often i feel like I "enjoy" feeling depressed. I think part of it is i feel I "deserve" it, so when i feel it it feels right. also, i'm so used to it, it's probably my most common feeling (messed up, i know), cause i almost always feel it to some degree or another, that it's almost normal. I honestly have no idea what i would be like if i no longer was depressed. even my friend has no clue (she knows some of the extent). Anyone else like this? I know it's abnormal in that most people don't feel this way, but among depressed people is this normal?

    Umm... Anti Depressants don't work for everyone. And smoking weed causes emotional dependency which isn't good for someone who's looking to save money and possible legal consequences.

    Consider your situation and think about why you may be experiencing emotions to this degree.

    I'm definitely the same way. I stop taking my antidepressants sometimes just because, but then it gets really scary so I go back on them. Then I repeat the whole process over again. I know I need them, and I'm still depressed on them, but not as bad.

    I guess I feel comfortable this way. I don't really know how to be happy.

    So yeah, I'm right there with you.
