Venting Does anyone else find being depressed comforting?

[yig]

I have been depressed for a very long time and i now find comfort in it. I drink almost everyday to try and escape this feeling, but in a way I depend on being depressed. Some days i feel happier and I find that feeling odd, like it's not right for me. I think sadness has consumed my life and now I can't live without it. Anyone else?

I think it’s the time spent without real love

It is comforting to me when I am alone, but it's usually when someone brings it up that I get this anger maybe it is just a me thing though.

Yeah I prefer being depressed, being happy feels too uncomfortable. Being miserable has basically been my identity for years without it I'm nothing

People pointing out your flaws will get most people mad. On a side note it looks like I copied you for the title but I didn’t

is it becuz it feels like theyre trying to critique you like being alone is a bad thing? i find thats what triggers me, im fine chilling alone but when someone points it out in a way where its like poor you or anything like that (yk what i mean lol its pretty easy to tell when theyre trying to make it seem like a bad thing) that ticks me off

Yes. I was depressed for the entirety of my early life and the familiarity of it just feels good now. It must be something else at this point.

i don’t feel the same way and I like it when I get to be happy but knowing there’s a dreadful trial waiting to crash on me is what makes this life miserable. Drowning in clown world blackpill water with pockets of air every few millennia isn’t a great life

over for depressioncels

so true, happens to me too

I think that's the dangerous part, depression leads to searching for comfort, and then u become addicted to comfort. Feels good in the short term, but eventually it builds up and destroys your life or mental health

It's more that

We're so embedded in a depressive state bc of our shitty lives than anything other than this feels weird
