Liking depression.

for around 3 years now (It has gradually gotten worse) i have been going through a form of depression, started with feeling a large amount of sadness and the longing to be alone, then went to crying myself to sleep every other day, then got to crying myself to sleep and sometimes in public almost every day, wishing to have never existed, then i stopped crying completely and 'lost my emotions' in a way. i am still at this stage and i if given the choice, i would keep my depression. i know, it sounds stupid. why would anyone want to feel this way for the rest of their lives? well, for some reason, i do. i just feel comfortable being like this, i don't 'like' it as such, however it just right to me. to be honest, i don't really know why this is the case, it is just how it is.

Well I suffer from a mental disorder and I don't enjoy depression, but I have viewed it as a comfort zone for me, because I was so used to going through problems in that kind of state. Being happier just seemed weird to me at the time. I'm getting help so I'm able to deal with things in a better way, but i kind of understand where you're coming from.

Please don't tell others what it means to be depressed, because it's different for everyone.

It can be normal to feel a sense of comfort in Depression. If you have felt this way a long time. Depression can become a large part of your identity. You probably just miss that aspect of your identify.

Plus there is something nice in releasing emotion by crying and being alone.

It to be super hot (;
You should probably text me about your problems ... (209)-728-4005

Oxymoron. Not possible. You like being a drama queen...not depression.

OMG I like being depressed too

It's normal, but trust me, you won't feel that way if you get better. You'll probably look back and just wonder what the hell you were thinking. Your probably just comfortable with your depression, it's not necessarily a bad thing, just don't do anything stupid and you'll be alguds.

it's not normal. but i can say you're a real masochist

Study the Enneagram..you're probably a Four, which would make your story normal.

you are a fucking quack

you mustn't have been truly depressed

I definitely write better when I'm depressed. I have a friend who for ten years has been so "depressed" he collects disability for it and he revels in it. I think he may not really be all that depressed, though, because when I'm depressed the last thing I can do is go on bragging about it.

Yeah, this didn't have too much to do with what you said, but I voted yes because I kinda understand.

I get a certain joy of being depressed too. I can't describe it, but I like being alone and depressed.

Also, Charlie Brown enjoys being depressed too, check this:

Ha. Ha. So you enjoy going around planning suicide attempts all day long? Depression ismt likeable and it never Will be.

maby you people are right that i just like being depressed becuase i was more creative and more deep and thoughtfull. hmm i dont know.

And I find

I like being depressed too? Idk why though?

Very mature and helpful response.

Maybe you miss the attention. I miss the feeling of cutting, it felt sooo good!

Think of it this way, to yourself, being happy is your own depression. If you enjoy what you call "depresion" then it is not depresion at all. Not really normal though.

uh what? You're at your most of being happy when being depressed? I think this is false and should be thought out in a deeper way to realize what it is you truly mean.

Depression is wanting to die and making plans to do so while being plagued by debilitating thoughts that scream for attention 24/7 never letting you think of anything that could be used to create anything, just all around bad.

What I think you like is secluded inspiration which comes to you when you feel smaller than you are that can easily be found when walking late at night when no one is sight reflecting on your thoughts and realizing the sky holds life that you couldn't begin to comprehend.

LOL Idk

It's easy to get addicted to the feelings I think and I was more creative when I was depressed, although everything was miserable/dark.

It is better to not be unhappy etc. I'm glad I got over my issues because I was upsetting my family and worrying my mother, which wasn't nice to see.

Being happy and healthy is so much better.

same here o_o

i dunno about normal but that happened to me. i find i reflect and think more deeply and am more creative when depressed. but im glad to be out of it
