Well not so much "like" being depressed, but I prefer to be depressed than to be a happy cheery person. It's because whenever I am happy or try to like life, something has to happen to where it brings me down or makes me feel bad. I can't help but to take every little thing personally and I don't know if it's an illness or what. I've never gone a single day in my life without something putting me down. I'm lucky to be still holding on to life because I have a hopeful mind and I am still waiting until there's nothing to hope for and just end my life. Is this normal?

    I can relate alot to what u are saying and according to me it´s normal, people are very different both psychologically and physically, i suffer on and off from the same things as you ive been on meds and gone to therapy but realised that in the end the only thing that works is if i accepted my brains negative way, and like you im easily brought down to, the way i feel now that managed to help me is to accept it, i know it sounds wierd but accept the thought in the end it´s only thoughts nothing else, on my work i keep it as my dark secret and in a way it makes me stronger, like uhm Batman.
    Everyone have issues that they dont show alot of people will often chose to project their misoury on others to push themselves up, but others like you maybe are better than that.
    if you want to talk just send me a message sometimes just ventelating can help.

    If you are in a good mood, you have to try to get over the people putting you down. You are too used to being put down and you need to realize that you deserve much better.

    Happy people have less of a grip on reality.

    Maybe like nine or ten years ago, but Emo has since gone out of style.

    Not sure if it's normal (probably not) but I feel the same way for the most part.
