Laziness or Depression?

[alfreddy7]

I’ve been in bed for a couple days now.

The only thing I get up to do is Eat, shower, restroom and occasionally play video games and play with my cat and dog. I feel ok, I do watch some TV shows and videos that make me laugh, I text my friends and family as well.

Just not sure if I’m just being lazy. I’ve been a couch potato since I can remember. Although if I get a boost of energy it’s hard to stop me. But that hasn’t happened lately.

Since I haven’t worked for a couple months due to my anxiety and anxiety attacks, I’ve been in bed more than I should.

I have been reading and watching a lot of sad stories that happened to people and famous people that suffered with depression and lost the battle. Maybe that’s what is getting me down????

Also my sleeping schedule is not good maybe that has something to do with.

So confused

I definitely know where you are coming from. I get that stuck anxiety sometimes. I take privileges away from myself sometimes like certain shows I won't let myself watch because it gets the negative thinking going. Make a routine and try to stick to it for five days. If that works add to your routine to give it different things different days and add stressful things in gradually. I know you can break free it just takes some thought and persistence. You know what the problem is you already explained it so now you just have to think of ways to change your habits that don't work. Good luck and Gentle hugs 🤗🤗

If you don't have to get up to go to work to keep a roof over your head and feed yourself then you aren't nessasarily lazy or depressed maybe you are lacking motivation ?

No you're not lazy! Part of depression is lack of motivation. Sorry but that's all I can add
