Recently, I'm started liking to feel depressed. I find myself listening to music that gets me depressed, thinking about things that get me depressed, and a few other things (nothing illegal). I don't know why, I just like the feeling. I find it very odd and a bit strange. Could there be something wrong with me?

hello and welcome. i am more concerned that you are maybe depressed and this is a sign you need to talk to someone.
I had a friend who played sombre music and he was depressed and it helped him get into his frame of mood when he felt everything was closing in on him. This was a sign that we knew that he needed his friends close to him.
If you are worried about anything you can talk to us
here. No one likes to feel down as we usually call a friend who can make us laugh as its a horrible feeling.

Well, I'm not sure about that. I myself have many friends and quite a few close ones. There is also nothing really that would cause me to be depressed. Also, for some reason, around the same time that I've been wanting to get depressed, I felt like happiness was a bad feeling, that I shouldn't feel it.

The same thing happens to me! I just googled it and found this. So, I guess we're not alone in the world.
I don't know the explanation, but sometimes I like to feel depressed. The only thing I'm worried about is that I have a family history of depression. But normally you're supposed to not like feeling depressed.. so I don't know what's wrong with me either

Odd, i actually do too. Ive had this love for the feeling of depression since i was in 5th grade (im 20 now). I honestly love the feeling deep down inside but for the past few years ive been telling myself i hate it because its too much work to get me into the mood. Its almost like ive juiced out my depression. Until now, currently im going back into what i like to call a hole (period of 2 or 3 weeks of straight sadness). Im finally fed up with this love affair and i want to try and combat it. I also googled it and it brought me here. If anyone knows the next step please tell me. I'd like to move on.
