Is an addiction to sadness/depression a thing? Less than a year ago I was in a bad place. Depression and all that. I don’t want to really go into detail. But now I have a girlfriend and I’ve been happy for a couple months. But whenever I’m alone (late nights, dark long car trips) all my mind wonders to is how I used to feel and that I want to feel that type of way again. I love my girlfriend now and I thought I was happy with her but now I just don’t know.
