No this is gonna sound insane but I want to be depressed. I used to have depression and I pretty much recovered from it. I know the pain of depression and how much it can ruin your life but I want that feeling back. Ever since I started feeling better i have started to subconsciously been making choices to make me feel more depressed. I don't know why I have these feelings but I do. Thanks

    You couldn't have truly been depressed. I suffer from chronic depression and I hate the medication and feeling too sick and too tired to eat... not wanting to wake up and being too sore and in pain to even do so.

      Depression hurts, Cymbalta can help. Sorry, I couldn't resist, but seriously, I take Cymbalta for depression and chronic pain.

    Don't worry this is COMPLETELY normal. Many people who have overcome depression want it back. I've has experience with this myself. Honestly, I don't know how to get rid of these thoughts, but it is common and healthy for the most part.

    Believe me. Depression is not as good as you think. I have been through depression after my dad had passed away and it was hell :-( I also suffer from anxiety too. Its not normal to enjoy suffering depression, unless your a masochist.

    Maybe you are not comfortable with broader horizons. Learn to like them anyway.

    I have always felt that when I was depressed I became much more creative.

    Despite this, being depressed fucking swallows. Looking at a razor or bottle of pills everyday and just thinking, "It could be over right now" is not fun.
