addicted to depression?!

You need to talk to a specialist. More than one. Not all of them are the same. Some of them really want to help. You are a victim of depression and it's taking you away from the real world. In reality, life isn't so bad once you count your blessings. I have a job, a roof over my head, and my health. Compared to most of the world that is A LOT. I mean, most people across the world are starving, living in a war torn country, or AT LEAST in much worse conditions than I am. I always think of those people when i get sad. Us Americans don't even know what real depression is half the time. We take everything for granted. Things like fresh, running water any time we need it, or clean clothes, or good food, or vaccines and basic medications, or protection (when was the last time your city was attacked by another country?) Sure my parents beat me, but at least i didn't have to watch them get murdered by a genocidal group of vicious killers, or having to watch me and my family slowly die from curable illness like cholera. Sure i have a few reasons to be depressed. My life sucked as a child, never knew my dad, got beat a lot. But you know what? I chose to take control of my life. And i didn't make the choice alone. I had therapy, and my counselors and peers helped me out a lot. I suggest you do the same. Join a group for people with depression, and talk to others like you. It will help you see the big picture. Whatever you do, don't ever seriously contemplate suicide. Sure sometimes it's nice to think about that easy escape, but there are ALWAYS better choices than death. I mean seriously, if all else fails just join the peace corps and help people. Don't throw your life away, give it to those who are worse off. That too will help you see the bigger picture. Because it's not just about you. There are people out there who need you, and both you and they don't even know it yet. Remember you are a human being and you can have a life, but you have to make the choice to live it!

Is there someone you can talk to? Friend/Parent/Sibling/Doctor/Counsellor, etc;

I don't think you're addicted to depression, rather it just keeps coming back. It's not like it's something you choose, it's just something you have and have to deal with.

you could try learning to type a bit better, it might help people get an understanding of you... communication (in a clear way) ALWAYS helps

I hope this isn't a joke because just recently a 42 year old lady posted on her facebook "just took a bottle of pills be dead soon bye everyone" and while no one took her seriously and made negative references she was found dead the next day. Dude if you just need someone to talk to reach out. my friend downed a bottle of jack daniels @ a cemetary and shot himself in the head and to this day I still resent him for not texting me. Suicide isn't something to joke about that **** happens to often and I'm getting sick of no one taking it seriously.
