Why do I feel so lazy at times ? I just don't want to get up and lift a feather even on such instances ....... why does it happen ? Is it just plain boredom ? Does it happen with you guys too ? How do you deal with it ?
Thanks, Regards, Max Ra .

No idea why it happens, At this point i'm not sure if it's the depression side of things making everything such hard work or if I've got so used to not being able to face anything that I've just learned to not do anything.
There could be an element of pure laziness mixed in there too, i mean really, who wants to wash the dishes unless you REALLY need to?? |

i did some reseach and found that our loved ones typicall see us as lazy. others who don't understand it, also call me lazy. i used to be a wrkaholic. i know how to wrk, i don't know exactly what to call it but there is something that i'm lacking to get going the way iused to. it's overwhelming, or i think how to begin to do any job and i get confussed as if i'never did it before. clueless. so i get upset and go around doing this with every thing around the house.. i just cant put my mind to think how to accomplish it. fusrated and disapointed in myself, i go hide in bed.

I think it's an unholy triad of depression, anxiety and low self-esteem as far as I'm concerned. No motivation because of the depression, stressed/fearful because of the anxiety and convinced that nothing I do is worth doing anyway.
I don't think all our loved ones think of us as lazy. I didn't want to ask anyone for help because I figured they all thought I was a lazy waste of space. But my tp convinced me to ask a friend and now I'm actually going to get help with the work that's confusing me. I guess I keep forgetting that just because I hate myself doesn't mean everyone else does too

Yep this is me too. Half of the time. I could easily while away the day sitting in the same place telling myself that I must get up in a minute and do blah. I tell myself it again 10 mins later. I get days like this. I have to push ad push myself to do it. I say ` just do it' it will be over and then you can go back to staring out the window. It works. Most of these days I genuinely have no care or interest in doing a chore, its all done with gritted teeth and only done properly because I always believe in the mantra if you are gonna do something do it well. I feel damn guilty and ashamed when I see and know that other people bike 10 miles to work and work for 50 yrs and so on but I cant help being mentally tired and low.

I think i feel lazy from my meds, they knock me out at night, i mean my clonazapine. The meds in the daytime help me get things done, but it takes me forever just to get out of bed, i have an awful feeling in my heart then. I loved working years ago when i had a job, but got burned out from it.

I can't say that I am depressed but boy am I lazy. This has only happened to me in recent years. Getting out of bed in the morning is the worst for me. I can easily sleep until 11 or 12 everyday but since hubby could catch me, I don't. Once I am up, I do my chores and clean the house and do the laundry and so on and so on but I take frequent breaks. I moved into my new home almost 2 months ago and only today, did I unpack my linen boxes and all my books. Now all I have left to do is catch up on my office work which I am very behind on.
I think there is a close link between boredom and laziness. The more bored I become, the less I want to do. How does one figure that out? __________________  Crying isn't a sign of weakness. It's a sign of having tried too hard to be strong for too long. |

I don't believe in lazy. That is a word other people use on me when they don't understand my behavior. Then they want to pin lousy character on me. I refuse to do that to myself.
When I'm inactive when I shouldn't be, it can be several things. For ME, the altogether biggest reason is physical or mental fatigue. The second biggest reason for me is that I'm not yet in tune with myself so I cannot judge how hard something will feel. So I sometimes fear it will be the hardest it has been in the past or near it. Then I back off because I'm fearful of being in that position where I get so drained. Then when I start up, I might have a better day and that thing I'm supposed to do goes fast and well. __________________

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
