Is being Lazy part of symptom of anxiety/depression? i feel like i dont wanna do anything ever.. i wanna miss work all the time and just sit at home n watch tv or play video games.. I use to look forward to work now i dread the thought of it and find it to easy to just stay home n not go..

is this common from anxiety/depression or is this just me being irresponsible..

I think procrastination is part of the illness. I went through it bad while working and do all the time as a stay at home mom. I'd rather be on the computer where it takes my mind off things whether I'm playing games or what. I just dont want to do things some days. I was diagnosed with adult ADD on top on the other and now take Vyvanse which we had to cut the dose in half for rapid heart beating. That's just my story, but I don't think it's laziness so much as a symptom on the illness. Good luck to you....

I'm having some of the same problem. It might be partly because I haven't been on the computer connecting with people. I was actively doing many things before my first panic attack and that sent me into a tailspin. Now I'm back on a different anti-depressant, which has its pros and cons. Otherwise I'm sort of a new person with anxiety symptoms that I'm not use to. And changes in family life and routine have changed. So I'm glad to have found this forum and have people I can "talk to" that understand.

Oh yeah, I deal with this big time. It is one of the biggest problems in my life but I'm not sure if it's a side effect from my anxiety meds or just depression. On weekends I'll stay in bed until 2. Then I'll get up and do some easy chore (wash the dishes) then I'll go back to bed. It just seems like I'm always tired and never motivated to do anything. It's definitely something I have to push through every day.

I'm feeling it, but working towards getting some tasks done that involve going to the post office and mailing off some letters. Just everything is a new task that is different with my new anti-depressant and anxiety issues. Just feel tired...but my family Dr did say that the Remeron I'm taking would make me feel tired. So I'm working with it until I can take less or change. I'll see how it goes and try not to stress over not being able to do all that I use to. I do feel "down" somewhat.

I ditto your posting Alta. I did make it though to the post office and due perfect timing of my cell phone dying or ATT dropping the call. I was in a perfect place to help an elderly man who came into the post office ready to pass out. I helped him find the right mail slot then helped him to sit on a ledge. Then he said his car was out in the parking lot.

Then I walked him outside, escorting him so he didn't fall, he was thin and I think about 86 years old to 90. He was tall as well. Anyway, after asking if the first vehicle was his, he pointed farther into the parking lot.

Then as we got across to another row of cars, he then said he wife brought him. Whew...! I really did not want this guy driving. So I then saw his wife and she was busy reading or something so didn't see what was happening. I went up to her window and knocked on it. She rolled it down and I told her about her husband that he just about passed out and is very weak, I'm assuming from low blood pressure.

He made it to the passenger side of the door and was trying to open it. She unlocked it and he entered and quickly sat down and lowered the back to reclining position. So because of my incentive to get the tasks done, I was at the right place at the right time to help this man.

I have the opposite reaction, I used to work to feel sain, and I worked all of the time, now that I feel more mellow more of the time I find myself not wanting to do anything except goof off. Work is the last thing on my mind that I want to, just thinking about it makes me tired.

<span class="ev_code_PINK">I'm in the same lazy boat!</span>
I got fired from my job partly because I got to where I just couldnt bring myself to do it. I'm an awful housekeeper, my boyfriend, bless his heart, does 10 times more than i do.
