obsession with depression

[StayCgirlgoingdown]

Does anyone ever feel like a part of them is drawn to depression, like your brain just wants you to be depressed all the time? Even when things seem to be going well and you're in a good place mentally, your brain finds a way to bring you back down again into that pit of depression. Idk if its self sabotage or maybe its because ive felt like this most of my life so its whats familiar to me which i find comfort in? Sorry, just curious if anyone else feels the same.

identity.

which is why religion helps some people. it gives them a higher more positive identity allowing them to break out of their lower negative identity. but you can do it through psychology too.

Yes, that feeling very common among people with depression.

Ive have it, and Ive read lot of people who say the same.

I think its because those "happy momments" arent actually happy, its just the brain distracting, and a more sensical part says "why r u so happy, dont see all the problems ?.
