Am I lazy cos I'm depressed or am I depressed cos I'm lazy?

Question

I see a mess. I have to clean and organize. I KNOW THIS!.. I feel dense. Please help?

Answer 1

you have the same exact problem as me.
i actually used to be organized, now i have a mess to clean up, my motivation is gone.....
you need to pick up a habit of doing things regularly,(cleaning,organizing)
i do too, and i'm trying.
hope u feel less dense,

Answer 2

I have the same problem. I'd rather live with chaos and mess around me than sit there and do it.

So I came up with a simple solution: Don't spend too much time cleaning. Every 15 minutes or so, pick one task to do- When it's my room, first I do the trash in it. Next, I pile up all the things that belong elsewhere and put them away. After that, sort my laundry.

When you break it down into tiny intervals, it's not too bad.
Hope I helped!

Answer 3

I suffer from depression. I can assure you that you feel "lazy" because you're depressed. And it's not actually lazy anyway. Its apathy a symptom / side effect of depression.

Answer 4

i think your depressed so you are lazy that is one of the sings of depression maybe you should look into getting some help and i don't mean drugs and doctors tune to a true friend or family member

Answer 5

Depression destroys motivation. Then again you might be lazy because you're lazy.

Answer 6

It's like the chicken and the egg question.

I would say you probably were depressed first, got lazy, then that depressed you more....

Answer 7

Stop being lazy for 2 weeks, if you feel better then you will have your answer.

Answer 8

Both. They feed off each other.

Only thing you can do is force yourself to do something. Get out, interact with people, best to try to nip this in the bud.

I thought it would just go away, but it got progressively worse until I had to have professional help.

Answer 9

you are depressed cos u r lazy!

Answer 10

Your lazy cause your depressed and your depressed cause your sad.
