Do any of you get addicted to bad moods? What do you think causes that? (lemmy.world)

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.

For me, i just want to make myself cry and pour that feeling out instead of stuffing it in. After i enter my teen year i stopped crying for some reason, even when i'm in my depression year and super down. Then fast forward to my early 30s, a breakup makes me realise how therapeutic crying are. It's a human function that get denied because i'm a MAN. So now if i feel super down i will try visit those song or media that makes me feel relatable and felt like i'm not alone in this kind of situation, and then pour that feeling out, after that it's sunshine. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
