if only i could tough love my brain chemistry into not being depressed, then i could succeed (because obviously depression is the antonym of success)!

Also on another note, not everybody who deals with depression and anxiety are sitting in bed all day complaining. I go out of the house every day and work my ass off and come home. Most people who deal with this kind of thing are usually trying to be more active to supplement the days where you genuinely cant be ****ed to do anything. I mean yeah my weekends are usually me just sitting alone in my room but those are my days off so see it anyway you want. And honestly some days it is really hard to get out of bed. Sometimes I literally cannot be motivated to do so but I do it. I'm not lazy when it comes to priorities despite my own mental health.

I think the mistake many people make is considering depression as just a more extreme degree of normal unhappiness, instead of a mental illness that stands apart from that. It's not like 'with moderate problems comes moderate unhappiness and with big problems comes depression, so if someone can have big problems without depression then so can you'. I have the luck not to be very familiar with depression though, so this is a bit of guesswork.

Also, reading about those fantasy worlds brings back my childhood. I used to do exactly the same thing, crafted elaborate worlds for my alter ego, mainly every night when I coudn't sleep. At some point those fantasies started taking place in the 'normal' world and eventually they mostly disappeared, it makes me a bit nostalgic

Do you think that people get so depressed that they can't get up on purpose?

Having a child is the least worthwhile endeavor possible.

Dealing with it once it exists is mandatory. It doesn’t make you a good person. People with kids are so proud of themselves. Taking care of your kid is comparable to flushing the toilet after a big ****. It’s just auto-pilot business. It’s only an issue if you don’t do it but what you shouldn’t have done was make a baby in the first place. I never made a baby. That’s something to be proud of.

It makes more sense than breeding.

I'm not debating the pros and cons of having decided to have a baby. For the sake of argument, let's just say the baby is here. So now it must be dealt with, right? Is the taking care of the child something "worthwhile"? Is it worth getting out of bed for?

Under certain circumstances it can be, but being lazy in itself is not a moral failure, even though throughout the history of the world many religions and ethical systems have talked people into believing that.
