Even though depression is harming, it is what's familiar. You miss not the depression but the safety zone it puts up. It is a barrier often for a secret strength until one works out what they need to. It is a defense mechanism. Change takes away our familiarity and we have to create a new routine for ourselves. That can be scary but yet rewarding. You stretch yourself to rise to new challenges. Once you have done this a few times, you no longer will miss that old comfort zone which really is a dead end so to speak. tc
