Same here. Except replace "depression" with "laziness". We're like the same, you and I.

Laziness is willful. I'd take being plain lazy over being sick in the head any day.

I'm still in bed. My cat's been at my side all day.

Laziness is as much a curse as a blessing. To truly commit to it is as much a surrender to one's base nature as it is a self-indulgent choice. In fact, I'd say the free will aspect of laziness only confuses the matter, as it makes you feel like you are in control, making your uncontrollable urge to vegetate seem a choice, and therefore you don't feel the urge to fight it. God you're lucky.

i work like crazy over the weekend for 3 days straight, 12 hours a day of staying hyper on caffeine with booze sessions and about 4 hours sleep in between each day. then i basically hibernate for a really long time on monday. then the rest of the week i have a normal 8 hr type sleeping schedule.

i don't understand laziness or depression tbh. i mean i can relate to laziness more than depression but at the same time i feel like after i've been lazy for too long i get anxious to get up and do something.

with depression i do understand that it's just some chemical imbalance in the brain but for whatever reason my gut still feels like telling depressed people to just snap out of it cause they're usually depressed over **** that isn't really that big of a deal to me. and even when it is a big deal i feel like there's no sense in dwelling on it.

for instance my cousin tried to commit suicide, and i really sort of looked down on her for it, cause to me she grew up in the suburbs and had a comfortable life and any problem she had probably wasn't actually all that bad to me. i know telling depressed people snap out of it wouldn't work, so it's not like i'm saying that. it's just always my first instinct. probably because i don't have the chemical imbalance and can't relate to it.

There's many different reasons and explanations for depression. There's an irregularity of certain hormones (I think that's the right terminology for dopamine, seratonin, etc) caused by bipolar disorder. There's also other factors, most of which have to do with mental processes. It's easy for someone who's not depressed to roll their eyes and say "get over it". It's very different for the people who actually experience it. Depression is defined as the inability to cope with negative feelings and thoughts. Whether or not you think it's a big deal or if it's worth dwelling on has literally no significance whatsoever and it's harmfully insensitive for people like you to voice those opinions to people who are dealing with depression. As someone who has dealt with depression and has a family/had friends who responded to it in the way you have here I can tell you you're only making things worse.
