Is it normal to enjoy being depressed?

Is it normal to enjoy being depressed. Most of the time I'm incredibly depressed, and when I start to get happy feelings it makes me more depressed. It's a bad cycle and I just think that I enjoy being sad... IIN?

  • Maybe it's because you secretly want people to know you are depressed. Perhaps you are lonely and want somebody to notice you? Or you want people to think that you are dark or mysterious and cool. I don't know. I don't think this is normal. I will admit though that as a student, I am a much more productive studier when I am depressed. It's easy to isolate myself in the library and focus on my schoolwork when I feel that I have nobody left to talk to

    Could it be that you just don't trust happiness? Like why bother it's just going to go away anyhow ?

    Depression is serious. You don't enjoy it, nor does anyone around you. Seriously.

  • i feel the same way as you, but maybe for a different reason. i think crying and feeling loney seems oddly romantic and tragic. Im not sure what that means, and i never act that way infront of people, only alone. Maybe it's more common than you think?

    I'm Exactly Like You, my friends are always telling me I need to have fun and when I get happy or laugh I just get even more depressed. To Me it's normal so don't sweat it

    When your mood lifts, it can be scary. You have to deal with all the things you didn't deal with when you were depressed. You are scared it's going to drop again, and if it drops, then maybe it should do it right now. You're weary and falling is attractive because it has no resistance.

    I think it means that you're not well enough yet.

    If you enjoy being depressed guess what? ... YOU'RE NOT DEPRESSED! Quit being a pathetic little emo and get over yourself!
