ignoring a problem can feel like a solution.
“When depression or anxiety gets out of control, ignoring a problem can feel like a solution”
Not because the person is lazy.
Not because they do not care.
Because their nervous system may be trying to lower pain fast. The problem feels too big.
Too heavy.
Too threatening.
So avoidance starts to feel reasonable.
The mind says:
“If I do not look at it right now, maybe I can breathe.”
“If I do not deal with it, maybe I can feel less overwhelmed.”
“If I stay away from it, maybe it cannot hurt me more.”
That is why ignoring a problem can feel smart in the moment. It gives temporary relief. But it usually makes the problem stronger, scarier, and more confusing later.
So the person is not really choosing a good solution. They are choosing the fastest form of relief they can still imagine.
