I guess I'm still bothered because to me the definition of depression goes against 'enjoyment'...
when you actually go find a definition

(Webster dictionary the free one I know of online)
now there are a bunch of different causes, feelings and experiences in depression. But almost all types include sadness, all these horrible things. Depression is never defined by any positive attributes.
how can you get enjoyment from sadness, dejection, hopelessness, lack of energy? if there was a way to do that I'd very VERY much like to know (and I'm not being sarcastic, I'm being 100% serious. I want it so badly)
Mind if I ask Venus, in short amount of words (because my depression is acting up and I can't concentrate
) to explain what aspects of depression for you create this kind of enjoyment you speak of. I'm trying to see if they are part of common depression, or if what you're experience is somehow unique in that way, or somehow, how you gain enjoyment from all these negative things? Learning how to bring positive out of negative is a great thing.
