Dear PeachCream22,
I don't think you are addicted to sadness.
You have some insight into what is going on.
As the one poster mentioned some people/people can relate to sadness yet find it much harder to relate to happiness.
You are not alone & you will find people here that feel the same way you do.
If you are lonely/ depressed for a long period of time this begins to feel normal for you. However when you do find yourself
feeling good, this becomes
uncomfortable for you.
You can learn to overcome "this constant state of sadness."
A therapist can help you work through whys and how to cope.
Life is a journey with ups and downs we learn new skills.
You deserve to be happy.
Would you think of setting aside some time like 2 minutes a day where your goal is to stay neutral? Let your mind wander, thoughts coming and going.
Without feeling them or thinking about them ?
Saying to yourself as I breathe I can remain calm, as I breathe I am neutral, as I breathe I can learn to relax. Its just 2 minutes
It is just One new skill to clear your mind. Its not going to make everything better but it is a start in managing your emotions.
