  • In this video, we'll be pointing out some signs that you are procrastination because of depression and not laziness. By the end of the video, you'll understand how procrastination points towards a more serious issue, like depression or other mental disorders, and why the belief that we procrastinate because we are lazy is stigmatizing and problematic. If you have been struggling with getting your work done due to procrastination and depression, this video is for you to help you feel understood.

    If you hear yourself saying “I will do something“, try substituting it with “I am doing it“ and see if the task doesn’t just get done. These little wins will fortify your sense of self-efficacy… that is, your belief in your own abilities to follow through.
    And as you tend to each pending item on your to-do list, let go of the “I have to’s.” Substitute them with:
    I can do it.
    I will do it.
    I am already doing it.

    This is 100% me, but I am improving. For most of my life, I was the most energetic and motivated person you would ever meet. Slowly, over the past 6 - 8 years, it all went away, I believe mainly caused by increasing depression. The solution for me is every evening, to decide realistically what I want to accomplish the next day. Then, break it down into tiny steps. I can't do a "full job" on anything anymore, but I can do a dozen small things, one at a time. Today, it's have coffee, brush teeth, take meds, empty dishwasher, clean sink and counter, get mail, open mail, throw away/delete junk, handle only what needs to be done today and so forth. I know I can't and won't get everything done, but I can get "something" done, and I'm in motion. Hope this helps.

      Wow that’s exactly what’s been happening to me! Used to be motivated, healthy, and confident. But ever since the pandemic I’ve just gotten worse and worse. Recently I’ve been starting to feel a bit better and I’ve been doing that too, I realized that’s one of the only things that actually helps me get anything done. I’ll make a list of things and sometimes I’ll even make time frames so I know I’ll have time to do it. I don’t get everything done but even if it’s just 1 or 2 things, that’s all that matters. I think breaking it down really helps though. Just gotta keep taking it day by day I guess

      I used to be a pretty stellar student up until 6th grade was always doing my homework as soon as I got home, got damn near perfect grades, handled everything on my own and such. But middle school changed everything I got so stressed out at the beginning I stopped doing everything all together and started avoiding doing everything I needed to do up until the last second or even turning things in late... every single time without fail. I've gotten close to becoming that stellar 12 year old I used to be but 11 years of just constant suffering I can say I've gotten better in some ways and much worse in a lot of other ways. It's hard explaining to people I can't get up and just do things it's literally impossible sometimes and yet I question myself all the time am I just lazy? Still not sure...

    I'm 16 and things suck for me. School and home. I have basically no friends, and compared to who I do know, I have the single busiest schedule in my grade. My teachers love assigning projects and I just failed 3 of them. Only reason it wasn't 4 is because one of them didn't assign one. I couldn't get myself to start. And having ADHD (which all my family members assume I "grew out of") makes it hard to focus to begin with. Combine that with the constant feeling of carrying the world on your shoulders, and you have an idea how I feel on a daily basis. Im tired. Every day. I'm always falling asleep in class, on the bus, no matter how much I sleep, no mattter my caffiene intake. Things are somehow even worse at home. My dad implemented a rule stating that if I or my older brother miss the bus, we both lose internet for 24 hours and it doubles each time. And it's hardly a punishment for him since he has friends and his phone has a sim card. I've told them that I try to get up in the mornings, and it's not working, and my parents either go on the "excuses excuses" rant or tell me to find a solution. Completely blind to what is happening. Except my mom has jokingly called me Eeyore multiple times for complaining too much. What the hell? Are they trying to mentally torture me? Cause that's what my life is feeling like. Mental torture. Even on the now rare days I do have internet, games aren't an escape from the stress, and are, in fact, another source of stress. Just like almost everything else. My family is nothing short of stress-inducing and annoying, school is every bit of stressful and doesn't care how many teachers assignments I'm doing. Video games are stress inducing when I constantly get the perfect luck in order to have absolutely shitty luck, but just enough to keep me from leaving instantly. I have that luck all day, every day. If this kind of working is just a fraction of what adult life is like, then I don't know if I want to make it to adult life.

    I had a very important test today. I really wanted to get a good grade on it because I knew it would benefit me loads. Despite the will to do good, I just wasn't able to study at all. I had plenty of time on my hands but I kept procrastinatig due to my lack of motivation. Yesterday evening I broke down because I still hadn't done anything and I was so upset with myself. Why am I not trying to improve myself? The procrastination was so bad to the point where I had my book lying next to me but the thought of even opening it overwhelmed me.

    I can't even tell if I watched this video just to justify myself that I'm not being lazy or I really am plain lazy. I have an incomplete grade because of backlogs, activities just got piled up because one of our teachers kept on giving us tasks to the point where we don't know how or which to do first. I want to do well because I feel guilty of my mother's efforts in my education and she has a lot of expectations from me, I'm not even the first child but she sees me as someone intelligent and doing well in school, but I'm exhausted of everything. I wanted to motivate myself to work during our week-long break but I had done nothing but lie down and become depressed for the whole week because I don't what to do, or how to help myself. I have no one to ask for help even if I have friends because they have their own lives, and I can't ask my mother because I won't be able to get an answer other than "pray". It's not bad to pray but the problem is it does not immediately make me feel any better nor be able to fix myself.

    A good sign for me personally that my procrastination may be due to depression is if I also 'procrastinate' on doing my hobbies. For example, it's evening or the weekend and I finally have time to play a video game I've been wanting to and still want to play. However, I simply can't muster the energy to get up and turn on my Playstation, and whatever free time I had ends up just passing without me doing the fun thing I wanted to spend my free time doing.

    I am a loner of ny class. I don't want to be in my house becuz my mom's is super toxic and like she's not good hence why I stay away from home. For her, I even broke my friendship with my 3 only friends. She tells I'll score great in my entrance exams but in truth, she always tells my father that I ain't gonna clear the exam. And also, my parents read my diary which contained things I didn't wanted to share with. After seeing that, my mom was like "Damn son, you thibk you're suffering more than me huh. You think your pain is very big?" Hence I have trust issues. I am experiencing constant pain below my right shoulder and legs. I can't say I have depression becuz I don't have any reasons to be depressed about cuz I am not an orphan, physically disabled person etc. who have nothing in their life. Even if I may have it, I couldn't go becuz my mom would be like "Why you going to mental doctor? Now people will think we have a mad son" I am now tired...Why do I feel such immense sadness for a long time even though I have everytging??

    i actually dont relate to any of this, since my depression when its not in more of a severe form, i can do anything. its just that... there isnt many i actually enjoy doing and most of the time, i cannot do any of those because i am not able to and run into a loophole of what i want to do... which i dont seem to be able to do. Basically, i end up frequently in a situation where i dont know what i want to do.
    im also a bit reverse, depressed people may want isolation but i dont want isolation, its the main reason why depression within me spikes
    i also dont have any stress issues
    i just feel sad alot, losing joy from life somehow and i only seem to feel joy from very much specific things that arent always possible. the worst part is: i feel hopeless for the most part, i cant escape this because im getting forced into more isolation. Thankfully, i am still holding strongly physically

    I need help, I noticed a year ago that I wasn’t happy, I wanted to seek help to be happy so I talked to my mom and ask her to take me to the psychologist. She called her and my mom just said to me that I wasn’t the priority for her right now so I could be taken by the psychologist after Christmas. The problem is I have no news of the psychologist and I wouldn’t be surprised that my mother didn’t call her. She always said to me that happy is a descision and she thinks that I just want attention. But now I don’t even want to feel better, I don’t know what to do because I know I have to talk to psychologist but I can’t ask again. And the feeling that my mother and that my sister thinks I just want attention make it so horrible.

Thank you for reading ⚠️ Oh yeah, might contain some triggering contents so if you're really reading it, and you're triggered easily, please remember that I warned you. (I don't actually know if it's triggering btw)
    I'm not sure if me and my little brother have depression, I mean, we definitely have the signs. But self-diagnosing mental conditions is definitely not a good thing, and going to a psychiatrist or therapist definitely needs A LOT of money. And I just can't suddenly go up to my mom and say I want to meet a psychiatrist. What if I don't even have depression, just overthinking our situation? That would definitely be a waste of money. And my mom has depression and bipolar, what if we actually have it and triggers her in some way, my grandparents are also already so old, I can't have them worried like that. But at the same time, I also want to get properly diagnosed whether we actually have it or not... Not to mention of my *super selfish* greed, I want to have depression, I know it's not a good thing to have, and it's definitely a mockery towards people who are having it and are trying to recover from it. But, I can't help but think how nice it would feel to get special treatment, to finally get them to stop putting the pressure and their expectations on the both of us, maybe I can finally make them feel guilty for putting all these burdens on us for so long. I know that it's a very bad thing, I know wanting people to suffer is despicable, but I don't know anymore. I just want to live happily with my little brother, without any care or pressure in this world. I didn't want to be someone big or successful just to prove my father wrong about leaving us, it was *their* desire. I didn't even want to compete with anyone, I just want to live like an average person, without any stress and all these health problems coming at me from overstressing. I just want to live quietly, graduate from a completely average university, adopt a few children and a little dog. That's all I ask for.
    I just hope things get better, maybe if I was smarter and as capable as my little brother, they wouldn't have put so much pressure on us. I failed the entrance exam to every high school except one, now they're putting my little brother through all the pressure, forcing him to study much more than his body could handle and limited even his little break time he has left. I'm so sorry...
    Edit: Oh yeah! Fun fact! Or not? Me and my little brother were pretty suicidal when we were young, it got better when we grow up tho, he lessened the feeling by hitting or scratching himself instead (I stopped him of course, but it's mostly too late since he did it quietly... But hey, at least it didn't leave any scars and there were just red bruises that heals pretty quickly!). Anddd for me? I don't hurt myself, in fact, I hate getting hurt, my scars heal pretty slowly and my body is dramatic and makes every scar on my body bigger as times passed. So yeah, if I hurt myself, I can't hide the scars anywhere, it's like my body knows about it and is trying to prevent me from doing it 😂 I still try to find ways to die peacefully tho, and also painless ofc. Most of them are painful and scary tho- And the ones that are painless are so hard to do. I don't have the means to make it happen. Plus, I don't wanna leave my little brother yet. I still want to hug him allll day long telling him how soft and adorable he is. So he's pretty much one of the biggest reasons I'm still living (❁´▽`❁)

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It's true that depression can make it difficult to do things, but it's important to find hope and work towards something, even if it's a small step. Do you have any tips on how to find hope when struggling with depression? :)

    • @yellow_jacket3260
      @yellow_jacket3260 Рік тому

      @Psych2Go To clarify what I mean a little bit about how having depression isn't going to be an excuse to do nothing in your life, is that I find that sometimes people justify their own sense of hopelessness and remorse by blaming the world for all of their faults and weakness and not improving on theirs. Its easy for ones perceptions to deceive the true intentions of one's character, which is why introspection and honesty to others can bring more insight to who you are, since you don't always are aware of what you are doing. Keep in mind that this doesn't demote the feelings of hopelessness and helplessness that one feels being depressed, as often the inability to actually move forward towards a task is just as fallacious as ones own perception of it.
      For my own struggles it is rather difficult because there are a lot of times where I question my own intentions and motives as much as I question the motives and intentions of others. When you've been betrayed by so many people around you, its hard to look at things in a entirely trusting light, as I've let my guard down multiple times and I've gotten out of the situation worse off because of it. Even though I tend to be more agreeable compared to more guys my age, the trusting nature of myself comes more of the hope that I have for human beings, as I have seen beautiful things out of life just as I found horrific things in life too. Perhaps just because of the nature of that beauty is the reason why I keep going on with life rather than end it, which I have contemplated many times, and almost went through with it once, although ultimately decided not to because the pain of the death would be so immense that it wouldn't be even worth the commitment.
      From all the pain and hardship that I had to endure due to this mental condition , one of the great things that I have achieved out of life was understanding that life isn't about what job I really get 5 years down the line, or what my parents living situation, its more like, something simple as just typing on a keyboard, relaxing in your pajamas, trying to figure out what to type next to be as clear as can be, even though occasionally looking into the future is much more important than the present, although establishing this as an absolute rule might dissuade myself from actually paying attention in the moment in the first place. I think the beauty in my own soul even despite that my mind rips me apart sometimes, is that despite the restless nights, painful headaches, vents in my friend's discord at 2 in the morning, or overdue projects and homework assignments, that the sole fact that I am still trying to find an answer through all this suffering, is truly remarkable.

    OK, now how do i break it to my parents? (technically dad cus moms still not home cus work)
    OK, I gotta break the story down first
    Also I should mention this was me just connecting the points in life together, I'm guessing at least some of this is incorrect
    So, this was about a month-ish ago
    I have a big test in biology, and seeing that I suck at biology and have a terrible, i studied 3 days, so long and so hard that i just felt so overwhelmed on the day before the test itself so that was the one I skipped. My parents had been telling me to study that day as well but I couldn't get myself to study at all.
    When the day comes, turns out it got delayed when I wasn't there, but our teacher was asking questions to get ready for the test. I knew practically nothing.
    I studied a bit more, but there was practically nothing else to study, and I have no idea where she pulled those questions from. When the test came, I of course knew nothing. Got an F. I don't really know how to connect the dots anymore from this point, and that test being a big part of the main cause of my current state is also just a guess, but you can guess what happened next. Fast forward a bit, and I have to study more, but I'm just so unmotivated. What's the point if I know I'm gonna fail? My parents (at this point just dad as mom had already gone for work) has been telling me to study but I couldn't get myself to do it. It has been making a bigger and bigger problem, and that's where I am now. Dad noticed something off with me yesterday and the day before, as I just seemed off and sad all the time when I come home from school. I don't know how to break it to him, as it will probably be, yet again, just another instance of basically "studying isn't that hard youre making things up","you never listen to me and never study" and similar things. I know my family cares about me but... I only felt safe confessing to a school friend of mine. That's how the situation is. I don't know what to even say anymore.... i know i need help but im too scared to say anything as it will most likely be taken as something serious but slowly turn into the stuff previously mentioned...

    somehow i didnt understand about myself and what i want to do, overthinking really kill myself at this point....

    If possible im curious about a video on trying to balance treating depression with work, mental health days off and/or how to try to bring up your issues while staying employed or working. I feel like i explained this horribly.

    Hi Psych2Go! Could you research and do a video on PMDD? I've recently learned about it, and I may have it. It's a condition that isn't as rare as people think and 5-10% of women who menstruate have it. A simple explaination is that instead of normal PMS, PMDD causes the person to act out more severely, emotionally, and can include symptoms such as brain fog, memory loss, exaggerated worries, and severe anxiety and depression. I'm talking not just feeling down and wanting some chocolate, but full on wanting to commit suicide or harm others. But then, once your period begins the symptoms subside within a few days.
    I've been struggling with it a lot in my 20s, and am only finding answers to my condition.
