Addicted to depression

In the last two weeks our therapists have answered 211 queries related to mental health.

I've gone through depression for almost all my adult life. I've become used to being gloomy and now I just automatically push back anything that makes me happy. Sadness and disappointment have become my comfort zones. I think I'm addicted to my depression and sadness. I isolate and hurt myself on purpose often. I don't know how to stop this self-sabotage and live a better life

Hey, Becoming addicted to pain and negative emotions might help you go nukb in the face of adversity, but you will never be able to learn about all the good things life has in store for you. I believe that the people we spend our time with are a reflection of us, so spend time with positive people who make you happy.

It's never too late to get out of depression. We sometimes self-sabotage because we don't deserve good things and I've done it in the past as well. Give yourself a chance, there's much more to life than being perpetually sad.
