Replies amiee Posted at 8:59 am on Dec. 4, 2008 Absolutely. aliens Posted at 6:43 am on Dec. 4, 2008 Yeah i know exactly what you mean.. It gets to a point where you can't remember what it's like to feel anything else so you find comfort in the depressed feelings cos you know how to handle them... iconoclast Posted at 6:16 am on Dec. 4, 2008 Yeah, I think this is true because depression to me is kind of a transition stage to a new lifestyle and a new mindset. Problem is that modern society doesn't embrace this new mindset so you get really fucking lonely as I have. Not to mention that kind of shit is really daunting so its way easier to just stay in comfort. SadnessNTurmoil Posted at 12:15 am on Dec. 4, 2008 i feel better when im in a low mood cuz atleast im feeling something like...thats the REAL me. Usually at home im like that...get some good "Me" time. Shoot i hate everything about me so i try to do better *no motivation though* Helios Posted at 11:29 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 I have done that before...I know it sounds weird but sometimes being happy gets tiring, and being comfortably depressed allows you to let your emotions out and get some of that "me" time we all need. tell me again Posted at 10:43 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Yes, and I think there ought to be different words to describe it so that it doesn't sound so contradictory. I can think of 2 types that I experience 1. Depressed feelings but in tune with myself and relaxed/indifferent about the world, without being disconnected from my own feelings. I feel settled into myself. 2. Low, dull, antisocial and apathetic/lethargic state. I can be fine with this but it's not "comfortable", its just a mild discomfort that I don't mind. Thatotherguy Posted at 4:49 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Something tells me that statement is contradicting itself. I mean if you are depressed, like I am way too much, then you shouldn't be comfortable. If you are happy when depressed, you aren't really depressed, just really confused. Daleacus Posted at 4:05 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 I don't think "comfort" encompasses happiness or enjoyment =P La Motta Posted at 4:04 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 I wouldn't know, but depression isn't meant to be fun. Is it? Byzantane Posted at 4:04 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Only if you're alone, and you don't have to worry about anything!! okumsup Posted at 4:03 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 No, even if you're depressed, you may eat or sleep a lot and do little to no work and not mind it, which sounds nice however if you're depressed, you're depressed so it cant be enjoyable. Jman19 Posted at 4:02 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Yeah. It sort of makes me happy in a weird way... I don't feel so numb, it's like I have more feeling when I'm depressed. hersheyparker Posted at 4:02 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 No. I've never been happily depressed. Natsy Posted at 4:01 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 no cheRRyd Posted at 4:01 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Yeah, you are all numb and seperated from the world? Most recent 15 of 16 previous replies displayed.
