That sounds very familiar to me. When I was starting to get over my depression I really wanted to get worse again and to hurt myself more. I think it was mostly because I had spent my whole life being depressed and didn't know what to do otherwise. So, I think it's a good sign. For me, that feeling of wanting to be worse and to give in to the depression again lasted for a few months and can still turn up occasionally, but it gets easier to resist it all the time.
