Is it normal to not want to get better?

Yes, it is especially common when you have become very comfortable in your illness. You don't want to leave something familiar and venture into the unknown, it is terrifying and against all human instinct to go into something you don't know.

It is, many people feel hopeless and lost and simply think they can’t and therefore won’t ever get better. But remember recovery is ALWAYS an option!

A lot of people are afraid of what their life might be like when they get better, or solve their issues. It’s normal to be afraid of the unknown, but the potential a person has after identifying their problems and getting past them is so amazing!

It's just my opinion but sometimes we get used to the problems that we have. They become part of us. So if all your problems go away and you get better, you might feel like you're missing a part of yourself. In short, you might not want to get better because you get used to them?

Yes, it is. It can feel very scary and tiring to set out on a path of recovery, and much easier to stagnate in one's own familiary misery. A sense of self-validation ("This is really how I feel, and it's okay to feel like this all the time because that's how I am") might also be present. Quitting maladaptive coping mechanisms is very hard, and when someone feels hopeless, exhausted, and alone all the time, it can look like an impossible challenge. It's important to remember that recovery looks different for every person. It all starts with small acts of self-care, and reminding yourself of how worthy, important, and gifted you are, until you're fully able to visualize those goals that your pain prevent you from reaching. Then, not only will they be within reach, but you'll want to put in the effort to reach them.

It's really easy to get stuck in the same routine of being down about everything or whatever it is but if you want to change it, you're the only one that can do that. It's all mental so you have to WANT to get better.....if you don't want it it won't happen❤

this is completely normal! many people experience this throughout there life, but the best thing to remember is without wanting to get better, you will not feel better

Some people don't want to get better because they believe that their problems/ conditions etc. make them who they are, they feel that they wouldn't be who they are if they didn't have what they have or they even don't want to get better because they have seen other people with it who are famous and they live with it, so they believe that they can live with it

Some philosophers say there is always a payoff in life for whatever experience we choose to indulge in. I guess this is a pretty hard line statement to make, but there is some wisdom in it. By refusing to accept a helping hand, we can be gratifying our need to hurt or punish the other person, for example, or, getting the flu and not taking adequate steps to rebuild one's immunity can be a way of avoiding certain tasks or responsibilities... who doesn't want to be waited on hand and foot? But a longer, more compassionate view would have it that we are not all equally gifted by nature or nurture and that it is just harder for some of us to get along in life than others.

I wouldn't necessarily call it "normal" but more of a common thing certain people have felt about something. Depending on the situation, like if you're in the hospital and you don't want to get better, there can be either your body is physically not getting better and you're helping with that, or you're mentally or emotionally not wanting medical or any help to help you and have you feel better, which it can either be a on purpose thing or something you're just feeling. Overall, if you feel this way, be honest about it with someone and I'm sure they'll talk to you about it and explain to you why you would want to be better and feel better and how it's good for you. I wish the best of luck to you.
