ou’re feeling may be depression — Not laziness
6. It doesn’t feel like a choice
At the end of the day, the biggest difference between laziness and depression is agency.
Being lazy is a sort of passive state, while depression is like carrying a burden. Laziness makes one feel comfortable enough at the moment, while depression makes you regret not having accomplished enough at work. Depression means being critical of yourself and unable to perform.
Those suffering from depression tend to be extremely hard-working, since they have to put twice the amount of effort into their actions than everyone else does in order to seem normal. But once the burden becomes too much, they collapses because of the exhaustion.
As the American Psychiatric Association explains, depression is a complex condition that significantly impacts every facet of a person’s existence. It is a health crisis, not a character flaw.
