Is it normal to not want to get better?

i've actually felt this way... a lot. i can't really say if this is normal, because it isn't normal for me personally. depression is a factor in this- it can make you feel uninterested in things you used to love and make you feel differently about life. this is temporary. if it doesn't go away and worsens, contact a doctor or therapist

It is absolutely normal. Mental illness can be incredibly scary for more than just what you see on the surface. After you've had anxiety or depression for a long time, you can forget what life was like before you had it. This makes it easy to worry about that you don't know who you are without being depressed, or without being anxious. The key thing to remember is that by reaching out for help, you aren't changing who you are, you're just learning to become a better version of yourself. A you who's less afraid to engage, and has more energy to do the things that you like.

Yes. I think a lot of people, including myself, are dreading taking the steps toward recovery. Some might not understand that, but it can be difficult. We learn to live and to be complacent in how our lives are. We learn to accept all the negative feelings inside ourselves because its easier to keep it in sometimes. The pain of letting go can be too much sometimes. It is like ripping off a band aid covering an open wound. At first its frightening to see this huge gash and its painful to let the air reach it, but that's how the healing process begins. We can't truly be open and ready for growth until we have achieved healing. Again, yes it is perfectly normal to not want to get better and leave all the scars covered up, but staying still is the same as moving backwards. Moving forward is hard, but you owe it to yourself to let go and to heal.

Yes because sometimes people learn to love the pain. I’m going to paraphrase a quote I heard, “people have to walk through fire at a time I’m their life. Sometimes people come out stronger, sometimes people come out broken and flimsy, and sometimes people learn to love the fire and find comfort in it.”

Probably not. I think that people should want to get better and learn more about what went wrong so it doesn’t happen again.

It is normal to not want to get better. Getting better is a big change and some people find change scary. If you're worried about not wanting to get better, don't be stressed over it. It is normal and it is an important hurdle to get over on your way to recovery.

I think it’s very normal. Sometimes the gentle voices in our mind are so exhausted that the bad voices take over and it can result in a state of giving up or doing the opposite of what we should.. However I believe as long as our heart beats the gentle voices whom are supporting us in our best interest will always come back to try to guide us. It could even work in this state of not wanting to get better to call out for our true selves, and say “hey! What are you doing to your self? Don’t give up, we are strong and we can do this! “

Yes it is, but I tell you, being better in you is always the best. Just tell the world if you dont want it, no one forces you. But in life, you have to make the best decisions in order to succeed and have no regrets.

Yes it is. When you battle with mental health or an illness we know no better then the symptoms of being sick. Being happy, full of energy and so on is very understandably scary. Maybe you can write out what it be like for you on a good day. Be honest with yourself and how it be. Hope this helps some.

Yes, completely but in this case it would be the best to seek help and talk with somebody to help you understand the reasons behind this type of emotions.
