Im a teenager and i dont know why i get depressed. Sometimes i do have a a great reason to be and i get so down. But after i get relived of the depression, i miss it. Its like an addiction to having the sadness feeling. we are all human, we love attencion, so i guess thats nice for once. But haveing the addiction to put yourself thorugh pain is a big yes when your feeling this. I dont know what to do, becasue when im depressed im sad, when im depressed im happy. But when im not depressed im sad, and someetimes happy. I try to make clear and map out all the possibal reasons why i coudl be depressed but that never works. I have taken drugs, i have cut my self to many times. But like i said, it gerts an addtion, to being sad?! Which is what i need help for. And seriously, UK counsilors are rich+idiots who cant help. doctors give ya pills, i aint going there. Please must be someone who knows this. Its not just depression. Its an addiction.

    If you won't talk to a doctor or therapist, why do you think strangers on the internet will be able to do better?

      There is a huge differance between talking to someone in your local area. Than to someone who has no idea who you are. Hence why most people post on here. Also, gives more people an insentive to help others.

    Depression is a tricky fish. When you're depressed everything seems easier. You don't feel bad for not owning up to your responsibilities, you can not do work and rationalize that it's your depression and go on about not doing anything. I understand what you're trying to say completely. Sometime I feel like I would rather just be depressed because it's a completely new feeling. I have been struggling with self harm since I was 13 and I'm 23 now. It's something I still want to do weather I'm happy or sad or really any emotion. I don't think you're "addicted" to depression. But I would say that yes it's normal to want to be depressed when you are diagnosed with a major depressive disorder because that's what your body is telling you to be. It also tells you that counselors are stupid and will never help you, which is why most people who really need it don't want to go. I hope this helped a little.

    You're addicted to sadness? Perhaps you are just very pessimistic?

    You should try to explain this one a bit better ._.

    I'd like to say though I too am a teenager and I know many people in the same situation that you are. Many depressed over nonsense; some have legitimate reasons...

    Councilors and psychiatrists probably are no assist to you because you don't have an issue that they can fix. It seems strange to me that one can be "addicted to depression". Do you claim to be addicted to depression because people give you a lot of attention while you are depressed? Is it that you thrive on false sympathy; that you're an "attention whore"?
