I must say… I was one when I was younger to enjoy being depressed as I thought things through alot more. However then I got happier, and I noticed a change in my thought process and I enjoyed socializing. However. I still get depressed here and there like right now, where I enjoy it as I am htinking like my old self. However, if I had a choice, I would be happier and more confident.

Being happy is a blessing most take for granted.

I think if you enjoy the situation of feelings you have then it is not depression but more a self attitude.
You want to appear as if depressed but not actually feel it.
I have suffered depression for a long time and many different times and I know each time does feel different but there is always the sense of hoplesness that goes with it; feeling lost and alone with no way out and no one can help you etc so likeing that mood may very well mean it is not actually depression as depression is very deep and lonely.

I actually understand completely how you feel. How it works is “if I cant be happy I want to be as misserable as possible just so I can feel something” and maybe also you think “maybe I deserve to feel bad” or “i just want to suffer so i can feel bad for others, I dont want to be a cold-hearted person”

No problem but please dont hurt yourself anymore okay :S

If you spend too much time on sadness your wasting the time you could have to try and get what you need to be happy. What has you so down to begin with?

I have the same feeling… but i thinks its being afraid of what happiness is. i have been depressed for so long i ave forgotten what it feels like and im scared of what might happen when i feel it. i want help but im scared they’ll help me. your not wanting to be depressed you just have lived with it sooo long that thats your life and your scared of the change even if its for the better. im going to get help and you should too… even if its scary!!
