I can relate...I too have been diagnosed with catatonic psychosis. When things were bad my house was a mess and it seems like a huge effort even to take a shower and wash my hair. There were days for me, about six months ago, when it was all I could do to get up and take a shower and then go back to bed. It's a terrible way to live. I can't remember all the drugs I tried last year to get over this. Ritalin was one of them. It helped a little bit. Then I tried Abilify. Wow, what a change. After two weeks I was up and cleaning my house and painting and doing all sorts of things. So you may want to talk to your doc about Abilify. For me a very low dose did the trick. I take 7.5 mg (half of a 15mg pill). And I also take Lexapro, but I don't know if that is doing anything for me.
and P.S. you are not lazy! Be kind to yourself.
