Not just addicts mate, but you’re right there. People get so wrapped up in their anxiety/depression/problems they find it easier to do nothing than take the first steps.

It just becomes easier to hide away at home and let others do stuff.

Understandable but it doesn’t help them or anyone else.
I do think MH support should be aimed at pushing people to do more (that they can cope with) but there’s a lot of coddling now.

I have known/do know people that have literally lived for years hiding away like that.

I’d go nuts
