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.

I'm surprised this isn't a !megathreads@lemm.ee thing. But yeah, what you describe sounds like a case of wanting better closure to a certain issue. I can't imagine this being an addiction, that would be sadism.

What would it be? The equivalent subreddit seems abandoned

Referring to the part where they said they couldn't find another place to run it by, with it possible to make a mood thread and that being used.
