I often feel that I do prefer my depression to actual freedom, for in freedom there is change, and change scares the begezus out of me.
It's like how some people like to complain about their medical illnesses or aches and pains, but never go to a doctor to try to remedy the situation. (Like me, for instance. Ha, Ha, isn't that a hoot that I just wrote that?)
Some people are afraid to seek treatment because they fear there is no cure, or viable treatment available.
It makes no difference if it is a mental illness or a physical illness or ailment. It's the what if's that terrify some people.
Then of course there is the underlying fear that there really isn't anything wrong with me, I am just imagining that there is.
