I have none these days and it sucks. I know I will feel better after acomplashing a task but the thought of having to go through all the steps to make it happen is exhausting.

Anyone else get like this?

I am in that place right now and it sucks, especially when I can't tell if it's because of my depression or laziness.

Not good to call ourselves lazy. A lie I think.

By far my two biggest symptoms are lack of energy and motivation. Can't get over that energy of activation hump. Even at my best it is hard.

I can definitely relate. I've been in a very deep hole for the past month or so. Had to muster up the non-existent strength I had to resume my projects and daily routine. It's been a week and I feel a teeny weeny bit better, but most things still require a big mental push.

I have felt that way quite often, so you're not alone.

It gets especially hard with things I know I'll have to do again and again, like showering and chores. I tend to get bored so easily.
