First, apologies if this isn’t appropriate for a community called “casual conversation”. I just don’t know of another conversational community to post in. I am more than happy to delete this on request.


Does anyone out there seem to get addicted to their bad moods? Like, you’ve been feeling down on and off for a week. Instead of seeking out media, conversations, etc. that you know you like and makes you happy, you’d prefer to keep absorbing unhappy media and talking about unhappy things to keep you unhappy. It’s almost like you begin to enjoy being unhappy and you don’t want it to stop. What the fuck is even that though? Are some people just meant to be insufferable like that? I don’t understand why this happens. When I’m happy, I want to continue to be happy. When I’m down, I want to continue to be down even if there is no discernible reason.

Just curious on your thoughts. Thanks for your time.

    I’m not saying you’re not welcome to post here, but maybe you’ll find more like-minded individuals over at https://hexbear.net/c/neurodiverse? I only just joined the community so I can’t speak to what it’s like though.

    I’m not a professional in any sense, but it sounds like you’re having trouble actually processing your emotions and getting the closure you need. Is there anyone in your life you can talk to about what you go through?

      Thank you for the suggestion. I don’t think I’m neurodivergent, just have a low mood and wasn’t sure where the proper general conversation community to post in would be.

        You’re welcome to post here if you’d like. I don’t think these kinds of discussions are against the community rules. Are you going though one of these moods now? Anything on your mind?
