Either one starts on the in side. You are the only person in there if it's depression you have to get up and get moving and don't stop you're the only one that can be positive on the inside you're the only one that can love you on the inside you're the only one that can be happy on the inside make it a point to become those make sure you take a shower everyday get motivated everyday if it's depression you will gradually pull yourself out of it but you have to keep moving and at the same time let's figure out what it is that you're depressed about

Sometimes laziness is a part of depression they kind of work hands sometimes you know not unless you went out partying or something like that for a week straight then sure you're not going to want to do anything LOL

Laziness is not a thing. It's depression or something else that makes it difficult for you to accomplish tasks that would improve your life, either in the short term or the long term. Have you considered professional counseling? You should talk to a professional. There's a name for this: "Executive Function Disorder". You might start with a professional counselor, or you could seek a diagnosis from a psychologist. There are medications that could help.

Here’s what Google has to say:


The core difference is that laziness is a temporary choice to avoid effort, while depression is a medical condition that impairs your brain chemistry, robbing you of energy, focus, and the ability to care. If you want to do things but feel paralyzed, heavy, or empty, it is likely depression, not laziness

[Nikki1989]

Laziness is a choice about effort. Depression is a medical state of depletion. They are two vastly different things.

It doesn’t matter which one it is, sometimes you just have to tell yourself “get the fuck up” and just make yourself do what you need to do

[WhitneySnow]

You don’t. There’s a very good chance it is depression.
