I think a lot of us can relate. I think humans always become comfortable with the status quo. The unknown is always scary (and scary is a whole different level with mental illness). Depression in particular has an aspect of comfort. It's hard to describe to others but I always think of anxiety as the active side (where you are actively afraid of what might happen) but depression is the point where everything is so bad it can't get worse. There is a strange comfort in knowing that there is absolutely nothing that could be worse.
