Believe me, the more introspective I am the more depressed I get too. I guess what I just realized, though, is that my laziness and lack of motivation may not be depression. But what is depression are my feelings of total helplessness, hopelessness and despair. And it is those feelings that are causing me to be lazy and to lack motivation. What is there to be motivated about if you have no hope that anything you could do could ever make anything better? why even bother getting out of bed?
So, being in bed all day might not be depression itself, but the feelings that keep me there are.
Now I'm rambling. Are you on any meds, Daizy?
