Lazyness - Mental Health Message Board

i have been feeling pretty lazy lately and i don't know why. I just can't seem to get up that motivation to get up and study and do what i am supose to. I feel really at lost. I heard that lazyness some how occurs when you do drugs and stuff. And i have been doing some stuff lately(mostly weed and drinking). But i am not a bad person, i just do it with my friends. I am just afraid that I wil not have that same motivation again and i will fail at life or something. I am scared that i won't be the same person that i used to be. can someone help me?

hello! i hope this helps:
often times the first signs of depression are a lack of motivation and loss of interest in hobbies or school. i sympathize with you because i have the very same problem. i'm in college right now and have trouble motivating myself out of bed some days. my advice to you would be to talk to your family doctor (if you have one) or, if you there is one at your school, a student councellor. if it is depression then you should probably lay off the pot and alcohol. they'll keep your mind off of it, but will probably make it worse in the end.

hi,

I go thru many days,weeks where I have trouble getting out of bed. If this has been out on more then 2 weeks I would see my primary care physician to get referred to a psycholigist. The psychologist will eval if you need to be seen by a psychiatrist to look at what if any medications you need.

Hope this helps

I have been taking medications for my depression since 1995 and lack of motivation if going on for several weeks can be a sign of depression
