Is it normal to not want to get better?

Yes. Not wanting to get better is a part of recovery itself. You will give up all willpower to get better but going through this will make you come to terms that recovery is worth it and you will want to achieve this. Recovery is a rocky road and it will be a rollercoaster at times. It is not impossible. It will happen. Believe in yourself.

It can be sometimes, yes. It can also be a sign that you feel there is no way to get better - but there is! Remember if you want to talk to someone there are active listeners at all time waiting to have a chat.

It is. It's often scary to get better maybe because you might not be used to the feeling of wellbeing. Taking a step out from your darkness means you're getting out of something you're used to, your comfort zone. That can be very scary and challenging.

I think this feeling is completely valid, but not healthy. I think sometimes we get so used to feeling a certain way and living a certain way due to that feeling. Having the feeling of not wanting to get better is sort of like a crutch. It seems easier to keep using the crutch, even when you know you've healed.

I'd say it's normal to not want to change, so if you are in case sick, then yes, this could be considered normal. But it is also normal for people to want to change too.

No, because if you don't want to get better than you'll feel even worse. It's not bad to ask for help or to get better you just have to want it

Getting healthy takes a lot of time and effort. You should want to get better as a first step. Do it for your self!

Very normal. Especially if what you are not wanting to get better from is giving you a whole lot of pleasure and meeting 4 or more of your 6 human needs. Our subconsciuos minds love pleasure and staying in their comfort zones. Anything that is a change from comfort is a red flag for danger. And you will start to meet some resistance from your subconscious mind, signalling danger.

I think that not wanting to get better are different fears in disguise. If you have suffered from mental illnesses for a while, it seems to take over your personality. That might cause the thought of not wanting to get better, because we are unsure of who we even are without our illness, but that is something we will discover during recovery. In the end all our efforts will be worth it.

I think this is an excellent question that should be explored in a different question. What happens differently when your unwell compared to when you are? Is it the type of attention that is received? Is there another way to get this attention while well? Is it the people or a certain person that is only present in times of illness? Is there other means to invite them into your life when you are well? Sometimes, a person can become stuck in either an ill or unhappy state due to the fear of being happy. So it could also be a fear of being hurt again. If so, then the pros and cons should that behavior can be confronted and examined. Without knowing real details, these are just some thoughts.
