This is a real concern. One I've been battling lately as well. I know as long as I'm sad, I don't have to do anything. By not having to do anything, I don't have to come to terms with my anxiety and stress. I can just stay hidden in a ball, I like being in that ball, but I also hate that ball. That ball is suffocating me and keeping me from becoming something other than a frail child.
It's tough struggling with your own identity and forcing yourself outside your comfort zone.
