Why do I sometimes enjoy feeling sad -- how can I prevent this?!
Question: Why do I sometimes enjoy feeling sad -- how can I prevent this!?
I'm in Grade 8!. Last year I pretty much had no friends, and I was sad ALL the time!. Now I have friends and everything, and I'm mostly happy, but even now I often prefer feeling sad (I think to some extent, I did before, too, but I didn't really have a lack of sadness)!. You could tell me that this is because I'm just used to and comfortable with it -- that is probably true, but it doesn't change that I would almost always, now, be sad then happy!. I don't know what it is -- something just feels right (resonates) when I'm sad, alone, angry, and everything!. I can think clearing (concentrate), write/compose music better, and things like that!.
Anyway!.!.!. here is the real problem!. Ironically, because I have such a good life, I have trouble being sad!.!.!. so I hurt myself!.!.!. and again!.!.!. and again!.!.!. It's not an addiction, yet, but it it intoxicates me!.!.!.
I'm not saying this for attention!. If I was, I would have talked about suicide!.

I think that we all are capable of being self indulgent & enjoy wallowing in self pity occasionally!.
I think that at the age you are also is a time of great self awareness and other people do not enter into our thoughts a lot!.
I'm concerned that you need to hurt yourself to get to the state of mind where you are comfortable!.
Could you become involved in something that absorbes your attention but you focus on something other than yourself, for example an animal charity or rescue centre!.
You could absorb the sadness you seem to need but with your assistance could focus on a positive outcome!.
Please don't hurt yourself any more & speak to your gp or a respected adult if you are not able to overcome this yourself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It sounds like you're clinically depressed, it doesn't matter how happy you're life is, please speak to your parents or trusted adult and tell them what's going on so they can get you into counseling to deal with these problems!.
