For me, it's the fear of something new. I've been stable for a long time now, so my pdoc suggested I try to volunteer or maybe a part time job. It scares me...to have other people depend on me scares me.

I mean, hubby is still doing most of the housework... the daily stuff... because I just don't. How can I add something that would be normal and would have someone else depending on me? It's the next logical step to healing, but oh man... it's huge. AND I take my meds regularly, but the regular sleep and chores just doesn't happen....I wonder sometimes if I like being dysfunctional because I know it so well.....

Think about what you fear and I bet you'll find "being normal" is scary to you.
