When you feel down, does enjoying something you like help you or does your state of mind prevent you from enjoying it?
In my case it is the latter. When I’m in an emotional slump everything I like doesn’t lift my mood. It’s only when I’m in, let’s say, a “neutral mood” that I can start to enjoy things.
(And yes, I know that’s a symptom of depression. I’m under medical treatment for that, don’t worry. I ask out of honest curiosity))

I think the answer is yes to both.
