"Because that's what happens with depression. When you feel deeply, you don't want to let her go. It becomes a comfort." This quote reflects how depression can become a safe refuge, a weight that feels familiar and soothing. Instead of fighting it, some people find themselves wanting to stay immersed in their sadness, feeding it and growing it because it provides a sense of belonging and peace that they can't find elsewhere.

The author describes spending a lot of time in bed as a way to escape life's expectations and responsibilities. "When he is asleep, nobody asks you to do something. Nothing is expected of you. And you don't have to deal with any of your problems," illustrating how inactivity and sleep serve as a temporary refuge from life's demands and inner struggles. The overall tone conveys a longing for comfort, even if it is found in depression or withdrawal.
