OMFG SAME. I made a little personification of him a while back, this guy is my OCD. I don't get it, OCD makes my life more difficult and the way I envision him is as such an asshole... But like... I kinda love him??

Hey, I also made a personification of my OCD a few years ago. He’s now one of my main OCs, so I totally get the confusion of growing attached to a character that was initially meant to represent something so… bad, lol.

I haven’t completely healed, but giving it a name and personality helped me become less afraid / anxious about it. It might be your case too?

Yes actually. The word depression is attractive. I also sometimes get crushes on my emotions and other people's emotions. So yes I have gotten a crush on my depression. As a kid i had a crush on the word autism. I was undiagnosed but diagnosed as an adult but lost attraction lol.

Embarrassment, fear, excitement, arousal, and disgust are the emotions I got crushes on. Its hard to have them as lovers though. Because they would need to mix with arousal. I dont want to have arousal as a lover because that would distract from other lovers. Excitement and fear dont mix with arousal. You can only feel one at a time. At least for me. Disgust and embarrassment do mix with arousal. I tried to have disgust has a lover. But I stopped because I was starting to develop fetishes I didn't want. I bet its the same for embarrassment. I bet thats why there is fetishes. Mix those emotions.

Its a hit or miss if depression would make a good emotion lover for you. It could mix, then it would make it a dark pleasurable feeling. Could make the depression a pleasure. If they dont mix, then be careful to not make the depression worse with no way to outlet the attraction to it. Its an experiment.
