Why do I sometimes enjoy feeling sad?

It can feel good to wallow in your own sadness. It's sometimes seemingly safer or more familiar and comforting than trying to be happy. sometimes you think you deserve to feel bad. sometimes you just need to be sad for a little, and it feels good to have release. there are lots of possible reasons. I try and remember that it's productive and healthy to let myself feel what I am feeling, and that being in touch with my emotions is good. But, you can also get stuck in a cycle of sadness and pessimism. The most important thing that i've tried to internalize is that you aren't crazy for wanting to/liking feeling sad. It's completely normal and okay to feel that way.

I've had this feeling as well, it may be your mind trying to cope, could you explain specifically why you might feel sad? It may be how you are trying to accept what you are going through. You may also be experiencing different coping mechanisms and trying to see which mechanism you are comfortable with, are you still okay with speaking to me as your listener? Or do you think maybe you would do better or be more comfortable with another listener, you may leave me a review or end the chat when ever you feel comfortable or you may stay with me.

Sadness is a feeling that everyone has at one point or another. I recommend watching the cartoon movie Inside Out this movie is a perfect example of why we need sadness in out life even though it is technically a negative emotion. It is good to cry and be sad sometimes, it shows that we are human.

I have felt the way you are feeling now. Especially when you have been struggling with mental illnesses for years, sadness becomes normal, a state of mind that you're comfortable with. I know that I struggled with knowing who I truly was without depression: character traits I thought I had turned out to just be symptoms of depression, like apathy and shyness. It's scary not knowing who you really are, and it's easy to find yourself craving the life you once had, even when you know it's harmful in the long run. See a professional who can help you overcome this: you can get better without craving the sadness any longer!
