And she's not putting off getting better to avoid her responsibilities - at least, that's not the way I read it. Korra isn't afraid of her responsibility, she never has been. She's afraid of going through what Zaheer did to her again, or something similar - and not on a conscious level, either. As with season one, she'd never admit to being afraid of these things because in her head she thinks she should want to get better. But there's even more to it than that. Korra has lived in the belief that she, as the Avatar, is needed by the world to keep things in order. But all of her enemies have been acting against her under the belief that the Avatar has failed them, or is an outdated concept that the world doesn't need. And what has Korra kept receiving since her move to the South Pole? A load of letters from her friends saying that, while they miss her, they are doing totally fine without her and keeping the peace in her place. Now, I'm not criticizing them for that by any means, but what they have done by doing this is basically show Korra that her enemies were right - the Avatar isn't needed to keep order anymore. Her argument to Toph as to why the world needs her is fairly telling - she mentions she HAS saved the world from a few terrors. Not that she has a world in chaos that needs order restoring to it. Not that the Avatar is always needed to maintain harmony and that she can do more good in the world by recovering. No, she mentions things that happened in the past, and in my opinion that is because on a level, she believes that the world doesn't need her anymore. It's a very difficult crisis and she is aware that she has no way of being a decent Avatar while she has this block against her recovery. Is my own reading of the situation anyway.
So yeah, I did put myself in her shoes hence why I picked that she has flaws but is an overall good person.
Additionally, Bryke has made it so that Korra can instantly cure her PTSD by metal bending everything out, which basically undermines her having PTSD in the first place. -___- And now, Bryke has told us that all of the villains have caused imbalance within the world, when in actuality, so has Korra. And now we're also blaming disconnection between Korra and people she loves as another reason why she isn't getting better. But.... Korra was supposed to go back? So technically, she is causing herself to get worse. All of this could have been avoided, had she LISTENED (like Toph said).
