learned helplessness or do I really need help

[moss_]

I keep trying to kick this technology addiction and get more sleep so I don’t feel crazy but I can’t seem to get it right. I’m scared its not working because I’m unwilling to do the work. If I’m being honest with myself I wish someone would come hold my hand and walk me through getting better. I don’t want to waste more time trying something thats doomed to fail but I don’t know if Im just being lazy or if I really should get help

You're not being lazy. And help can't hurt at all. Don't start shaming yourself for not getting where you want to be. Trying is not failure.

Depression is a physical disease of the brain. A chemical imbalance. It keeps people from acting in their best interest. I'm not saying you're depressed. But don't think that what you are experiencing is a character flaw. It's human nature. We all struggle with those thoughts at some point. Some more than others.

I would seek out a counselor that you feel comfortable with. An outside perspective is certainly helpful.
