If I interpret your post right PB, do you mean a fear of escaping your depressed state? Because depression can be strange that way, in that while it's making you miserable you don't want to do anything that would make you feel happy. It stems from "I'm not up to being happy" really, but I eventually came to realize that it's not about being happy, it's about gaining the strenght to be happy and cure the exhaustion.
