It’s not about desire. It’s about acceptance. You don’t desire to be in it or out of it, you accept it and understand it. What I’m getting at I can’t really describe in words because it’s more of an experience. But for people who have depression (not sadness) It is a therapy in an understanding that works.

When you accept something you don’t need to be different. And the burden you are released of is immense. And that is when you’re suffering goes away. You’re still depressed, but you’re not suffering.

It sounds to me that you are describing the Stoic ideas of acceptance or the Acceptance Theory way of dealing with mental issues. It all works.
