Re: Addicted to Depression - March 28th 2014, 05:44 AM

Hi there!

Nevertheless, I'm glad you've been doing better. That's great and it only goes to show that you can keep improving. The point that you're making does make sense. Depression can become a comfort zone, and without it you just sort of feel lost. Have you brought this up with your therapist? If not, I think it'd be a good idea to do so to see if your therapist can give you any additional advice.

Do you think you could slowly start to get out of that comfort zone? Like when you get the urge to listen to a sad song or do/think about something you know will make you sad, catch yourself and convince yourself not to do it. Tell yourself that it won't help you, that you deserve happiness and are worth recovery. And to assist in that, how about getting some hobbies to have things that you enjoy doing to go to?
