Exactly, it's a physiological/psychological trap - You think it's the action that is making you feel better, while it is actually the adrenaline flooding through your body (as it would if you were injured in any situation) - Adrenaline is a great temporary relief from depression, but with all substance abuse, once it wears off, you're back to where you were before, except there's probably more blood around the place.
If you (the reader) want the same feeling, go do something scary. Turn into a thrill seeker, high-dive, mountain-bike, para-glide, surf, ski, box or just do something every day that you thought you couldn't do before.
