If you think depression feels good then you aren't really depressed.Being melancholy is something different altogether.

It depends if we are going by clinical definitions or not. The way I see it is that if I'm depressed for more than a week I learn to enjoy it. I definitely see melancholy as being more sullen or withdrawn rather than being in tears so I get your point. Maybe the depression turns into melancholia.If you think depression feels good then you aren't really depressed.
I'm weird like that.
Phase the music out. I feel like when I was depressed and I was listening to a bunch of sad soul music, it just kept me in that state. It's kinda necessary though. It makes you feel like someone shares your pain, but then you have to keep it moving or it'll almost feel like the depression is deepening.
Been in some pretty deep depressions before. Did some of my greatest soul searching , and never felt more profound/creative than when depressed. When you're in a deep depression , nothing matters. You can walk down the street naked and not give a fukk who looks or what they say. I know its ironic , but its a very peaceful state to be in.
Exactly. Someone shares it and made it out of it.
What did learn from soul searching? Im doing,that now, figuring out what I want in life.
And agreed--its making me not care about work anymore, which I kinda bad. I dont want to be here, but I also dont wanna get fired. Hopefully after 6 month i can bounce and move back to maryland.
Depends on what precipitates the depression.I had a series of really tough personal losses , and spiraled into a deep dark ass depression. I remember sitting at home , already depressed ,watching people pull bodies from rubble in Haiti , and realized I needed to start making a difference. I began volunteering , mentoring young kids , taking school more important etc. I know it sounds cliché , but I really live life to its fullest. My life wasn't purpose driven before this. I got a nice ass job right now , and I could give two shyts if I got fired tomorrow.
My job is

I miss my old life, hours everything.

Same way I feel, I really have to be in a certain frame of mind to listen to "happy" music.
For most part I just can't relate to happy music, most of the musin has a strong presence of sorrow, and mournfulness about it.

Do what ever adds meaning to your life.. We're willing to endure pain and hurt , if we believe it means something. I think life is about meaning , not happiness.
