Wanting to be Depressed

This happen to any of you? Things are going good, but you feel weird about it. Happiness usually comes with a cost or a letdown anyway so you'd think this would be common.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Sometimes I feel like I don't deserve friends...thats always weird. There has to be balance, so of course pain will come with pleasure at some point. You just learn to deal with it. :)
 
It's like Al Bundy said. The more good things that happen to you, an equal amount of bad stuff is going to happen, so it's better to have just bad stuff all the time.
 
Every time something good happens to me, something bad usually happens the next day, so i can't be happy about the good thing because i know something is about to happen...(sigh)
 
Well things are going great. I have a place to stay and a job and friends waiting for me in WA. But then I have stuff down here thats awesome, but I think the whole moving event is just an omen for a massive depressive front, and to be honest, I sorta want it to just happen so I at least dont have to be all freaking pensive all the time.

Yeah, sometimes being happy gets really tiring. I think if you have had a long depression period in your life at some point, you can sometimes look at depression as relaxing/comforting in a way. It's usually associated with not feeling anything, so it makes sense to want it if you feel overly stimulated emotionally, which is something that can happen often in our very fast paced and flashy culture. Everything is designed to get us what we want fast, but I think you can binge on many things in life and it has the emotional equivalent to the physical consiquences of binge drinking.

The importance of a slower, more personal, nurturing community is something I think our culture has lost, and that comes with it's share of problems. But while it has taken some practice but I think I'm starting to learn how to appreciate the goodness of life in a deeper, calm and kind of passive way. It's probably a natural aspect of growth and maturity as we move on from the youthful passion we have about everything. You can have fun without going wild, you can share love without passonate drama, you can be friends without doing things together 24/7, you can be entertained without a big show and explosions.
 
That makes sense, im currently in a weird situation that is a little intense so that could be why im feeling weird.

Depression is way more dependable than happiness.

How about high stakes bowling? Surely, if chess is the sport of kings, then bowling is also a, uh, very good sport.
