What is lazy and what is depression ?

Question

i was diagnosed with depression and anxienty and self mutilation. I was struggling to get out of bed, i had no motivation and i did pretty much nothing all day. I am thinking that i am falling back into my depression because i am doing the same thing as last time.

I just want to know how can i determine what is being lazy and what is because of the depression ?

Does that make sense ?

I dont want to be accused of being lazy when i am depressed but i dont want to be lazy and blame it on depression.

Answer 1

if you have been diagnosed in the past, don't you think it's best to err on the side of caution and call your doctor?

I think that laziness is when people choose to do nothing, and depression is when people just physically cannot bring themselves to get out of bed. It's a conscious choice difference.

Answer 3

I suffer from similiar afflictions. I have found that when i am in doubt about whether i'm lazy or depressed, i look at what i'm not wanting to do. I'm im laying around when i should be taking care of business, IE cleaning, budgeting, shopping, and other things i find unpleasent, then i am most likely being lazy. If i find that i do not even want to do the things i enjoy, then it is most likely a flare up of depression. its not 100% of course, but it has worked for me. Try going out and doing some things that are stricktly for fun and see how you feel.

Depression, Tension & Increase of will-power.



Increasing the will-power : Our mind has a great effect on these glands. For example, continuous fear damages the Pituitary gland and makes one timid. Similarly,tension and worry disturb the Pineal gland and so leads to high B.P. and as Pineal gland controls other glands it also disturbs other glands and digestive system. In modern times, strees-tension or worry-fear have increased and they often disturb these endocrine glands. If these endocrine glands are not treated immediately, it might lead to malfunctioning of other glands of the body. As these glands are interrelated, whenever one gland is disturbed, the other glands also get disturbed. So, when you press on the pointsof these endocrine glands you will feel pain on points of more than one gland especially in case of chronic diseases. Therefore, it is very improtant to give Acupressure treatment on all the endocrine glands and keep them under proper control.

These glands also control the mind (the will-power). So in order to get rid of bad habits like smoking, drinking, drug addiction or even overeating, it is extremely necessary to give treatment on all endocrine glands for at least, fifteen days. Because, these people lack the necessary will-power to give up bad habits, they often break their vows to stop such bad habits and so they are considered unreliable. However, a treatment of fifteen days will give them necessary will-power to stop these bad habits after that. And they will be free from the withdrawal symptoms of stopping these bad habits.

Nervous tension : In the modern days because of fast life and loss of contentment,nervous tension keeps on building up increasingly, tending to damage our mind and health.

How to find out : Ask the patient to lie down on the back and ask some one to press on the base of the middle toe in both the legs. If there is a hurting sensation,it means nervous tension. If the hurting is unbearable, it means that the person is on the verge of collapse and needs immediate attention.

C U R E : (1) While the patient is lying on the back, bend all the toes of both legs, backward. It may hurt but give little more pressure and bend them as much as possible. Repeat this three times a day till the tension is removed.

(2) Clasp your hands tightly interlocking the fingers. Then with left hand fingers press on the back of the right hand and then with right hand fingers, press on the back of the left hand. repeat for about 1 to 2 minutes, 3 to 4 times a day.

(3) Insomnia : The above mentioned treatment can be taken for 5 to 12 minutes at night in bed to ensure good sleep and cure insomnia.

(4) Take 2 glasess of gold/cilver/copper charged water reduced from 8 glasses of water daily.

(5) Kali Phos 1 m (a Biochemic medicine) : Take 8 pills in the eveining between 8 to 9 p.m. for 10 days, then once a week. After 10 days Kali Phos 12 x 4+4 pills every day. Complete course is of 45 days.
