Why Some People Choose to Wallow in Misery Instead of Seeking Mental Health Support (And How to Encourage Them to Prioritize Their Well-Being)

Why do some people prefer to wallow in their misery instead of getting help? Well, maybe because they think it’s a good idea to save money on therapy and spend it on chocolate instead.
