Sleepy or lazy

I haven’t really had a reason to get up and take care of myself. I kind of sleep all day and stay awake at night until 3 or 4 am. When I am awake I really don’t have anything to do and I have nowhere to get ready to go to. I watch a movie or two, eat, and sleep. I need to find something to do. I like reading and I have books to read even ones I’ve never read before but I don’t want to read. I have a little jewelry box to paint but I don’t have any paint. I want to draw but I don’t have colored pencils or crayons. I don’t like staying on social media long because I get anxious.

This sounds my days back during my Persistent Depressive Disorder. For me sleeping during the day hurried up he hustle and stress that occurs in the day time, I could sleep through it. At night the world is calmer, neighbors are asleep, it's super quiet and less noisy (both outside and what would be ruminating in my head). Back during my depression I didn't shower much, lost any and all interest in everything and ate little or terribly, I usually went right back to sleep after eating). Just my experience.

I dont think its sleepy or lazy, just where you are right now in life and your circumstances.

I can deft relate.. Except I've been drowning myself in my phone because I'm too lazy to do much else. But also I started falling into depression again before the outbreak so... Idk.. 😒 just know you're not alone.

I feel ya. Yesterday I "woke up" at 3 o'clock and stayed up until 2:30 a.m. and slept until 8:30 am when I dragged myself out of bed. I'm sitting here in my jammies. I've gotten a lot done, don't get me wrong but damn I could sleep 24x7 . I believe it's the anxiety. I woke up early to get myself on schedule and stop sleeping so late. It was VERY hard. Lol. I can't read either and its something I usually really enjoy. I think its the anxiety that keeps me from doing it now. I know this will pass but it sure does seem very bad right now. Hope you can fill your day with something fun. I'm just trying not to stress and not feel guilty when I do take a mental health "lost" day. Lol. Stay safe.
