I feel numb right now. I want to feel something, but I feel like I'd rather be sad than happy. Being happy doesn't feel right. It doesn't feel like I deserve it. I haven't done anything to earn happiness. I want to hurt my own feelings. I want to drown myself in self hate. Because I think I deserve it? Because my mind is most used to that? I don't know why. Maybe it's just because I'm a terrible person who just loves being depressing.

Do you feel this way about other people? Remember that you are people. If you wouldn’t think it about someone else, try not to think it about yourself. You ARE worthy of happiness.

1. You are not a terrible person, because a terrible person would not worry about if they are being depressing or not 2. Everyone is deserving of happiness, even you, I promise 3. I would suggest not forcing yourself to be happy, but maybe everyday make an effort to accept some joy in your life, if you do this gradually it may allow you to come to terms with not being the sad way you are used to.
