I have mild depression and an eating disorder. I have been feeling sad for a year and I'm beginning to feel numb. I don't want to recover, I just want to continue being depressed and numb. I hate having mild depression, because I want a clinical depression. And also, I'm definitely not seeking attention because if anybody gives me their attention, I would feel more upset. Is it normal?

    I like being depressed too simply because I like knowing that I'm capable of feeling. (That sounded WAYYY more emo then what I originally intended) But, when I'm happy or more like, when I'm taking pills to be happy I feel fake. I don't feel like myself and I hate it when people pretend to be someone they aren't.

    I also hate it when people know that I'm depressed simply because they go on this huge lecture on why I shouldn't be depressed. Then they recommend stuff for me and it gets really annoying after awhile.

    So basically, what I'm trying to say is that I know the feel bro.

    Sometimes the easiest thing to do is give in to it. Drown yourself in sorrow makes you feel good because it is an easy thing to do.

    The best thing to do is use this energy in a different manner. Try to let it push you in life to do something else. Something more beneficial.

    Believe in yourself and think you can get out of the darkness. Push yourself, join an activity, do something that can make you happy.

    It's always easy to let yourself go and not do anything about it. You need to find something to fight for. Find something to live for once again.

    I don't at all like being depressed, but if i'm reading a sad fanfiction or something, I love crying out of sadness. :> That's just because i'm sadistic.

    I don't think it's normal but I also like to feel depressed and I don't know why. In the past few years I had very bad days when I space out very bad but mostly because I hated my job now that I no longer work there I feel much better but kinda miss those days when I was feeling spaced out. Kinda like on drugs. I was curious during that time and wondered if people felt that way before. It was a very strange and pleasing sensation. I found out about this disorder called "depersonalization" that's triggered by high anxiety levels and I think that's what I had. I don't consider myself fully recovered but I try to keep my mind busy and not think about things I can't control. Good luck!
