I catch myself saying I am "lazy" even when I know logically, in the context of my depression and anxiety, that I am doing pretty well.
Even though I know it's an illness, I think the fact that so much of it is "invisible" to others lends us to be harder on ourselves, never mind that that is part of the illness itself
