Is it normal to not want to get better?

It can be common to get caught in a cycle of negativity and not want to get better for any number of reasons. However, most people want to get better deep inside. Sometimes that desire is just hard to see in the haze of troubles.

We all experience plateaus once in awhile; periods of time where it feels like we can't or don't want to get better. The best thing you can do is ride out the wave and push further towards your goal.

Sometimes you are so used to the bad things that you don’t want change. It’s completely normal, but that doesn’t mean it’s healthy.

I think getting better is a scary road. Not sure anyone wants to venture down that road. Brave people will try, and I think once you have collected enough energy and have the support, you can make that journey in your own time. If you aren't ready, you don't need to feel guilty, it just may mean you need to rest up a bit and then take another go. It's exhausting, when you are already running on empty. It's normal. I know you will make it, at your own pace. Happy you're here!

Completely normal. I find myself questioning if I really do want to get better multiple times a day. We’re so used to the negativity in our lives that we feel as though we wouldn’t be able to handle the positivity or change that comes with it, sometimes we have our happy days and we think ‘this feels good but it won’t last’ and instead of enjoying the good times we spend our time worrying about the downfall that’s waiting to happen. Savour those happy days and enjoy them as much as you can.

Yes it is, and because wanting to get better is not too different from wanting to anything else at all: it's active work, and the thought of doing it can be daunting. Give yourself the space and time, and do one small thing each day. It gets better.

I think sometimes, yes. Sometimes getting better isn't our priority but to find a person who can comprehend our present state is much more important. Infact that is the first step towards getting better.

Yeah it's normal to not wanting to get better. Obviouslly sometimes I enjoy the feeling of being lonely and just sad... it's a different spice in life too. Ofcourse not all the time. Both should be balanced out.

It is extremely normal, many have felt the way you do now including myself. It feels as though what you are experiencing is a part of you. It may take time for you to realize it does not define you and that you are stronger than it.

Yes absolutely. Often there is a sense of solace around your problem. Always a layer of a blanket smuggling you in with the ability to craft an excuse by pointing back to it. Breaking away from that comfort zone is all you need to confront the problem. Once you confront the problem, it’s way easier to break through.
