Depression is addictive, they say

I have heard somebody say this, or read it somewhere that depression is addictive.
An from my experience, it is.

Why should depression be addictive? it is supposed to be bad, right? wot does a human being gain by being depressed?? as far as i know, no physical soothing, or no comfort, nor physical nor mental. It doesnt offer even a moment's relief, like say cigarette, or a drink (Not that i have experienced these). So, wot does depression have in it that makes it so addictive??

And as usual, i started a wild journey of random thoughts, an it struck me.

When u r depressed, u tend to be alone, lonely (atleast i do).. u try to avoid human contact, especially if the people around you are ready to judge you, or comment unnecessarily, or plain irritating. An by doing so, (called as being depressed), you are actually giving yourself time. This is a much needed thing, an which has become a bit rare nowadays. And because we are relieved by giving ourselves time, we tend to repeat that. Sorta like, we try to be in the company we like... Depression becomes addictive when we like our own company, and according to me it is completely justified (not tht i need to). But i think being depressed has nothing to do with being happy. I can be happy and depressed (the classical definition) at the same time, most of the times i am that way.

Especially chai, and nobody to talk to is like a bliss in the current times. it gives me time to reflect upon things i hv done, to think about a days events. To think!
