Can my condition be cured? I seem to have a psychological need to be trapped. Relationships, work, I seem to assume that everything depends on me, and even though my job and relationship are crap I can't bring myself to leave them. Am I a coward? Is there a cure for being a coward? Or am I trying to make up for something in my past, something feeling that I've betrayed someone and must not do it again (I can't recall any such event)? Or am I just self- obsessed and selfish?
