For a long time, I’ve thought to myself, “You’re just being lazy”.
That’s what I thought. I’m too tired, too exhausted. I’m just bored with the day. Or maybe I’m sleepy and I am just such a lazy kid that I don’t get things done.
I’ve always known, deep down inside of me, that that’s not the true reason. But I still always doubted that maybe, just maybe, it IS.
But I realize at this moment, and I’m confirming at this moment, that all my beliefs about this being something else was true. And I’m confining that it IS true.
I am not lazy; I am not tired; I am not exhausted; I am not sleepy.
Its not the real reason why I don’t get things done.
I’m sad. I’m so sad that I want to sleep. I want to close my eyes and I feel heavy and loaded.
I feel tired. I feel tired because of my sadness. And then I feel hopeless. Like, no, I CAN’T accomplish my work. It can NEVER be accomplished, I should merely give up now. And so, I retreat so sleep, and never get my work done.
I’ve always thought it was laziness, every. single. time. But can it really be laziness if I am crying every time?
Do you cry when you’re lazy? No. You don’t. I cry because I am too sad. Too tired to work, mentally. Physically as well. I just know KNOW its not laziness. Its something more.
I just needed to finally confirm that for myself. To let myself be peaceful with the fact that I wasn’t wrong this entire time.

I know the tiredness you speak of. I remember getting home from school and the first thing I would do was watch tv or sleep. I it was the first thing I would do whrn I got home. It took me a while to realise it was because I was depressed. That I had nothing to live for. You arent alone here 🙂
God, I know this feeling SO well. I, too, thought it was laziness. Felt like shit for awhile about it…Anyway, I relate to this VERY much.
