Am i depressed ?

Question

Im 22 , and i basically only ever have enough energy to get the things I need to get done done . I wake up for school and I do my scjool work and I make it to work ontime. I never leave the house for any other reason except I also go see my boyfriend at his place .
If I don’t have anything to do that I am responsible for i literally will sleep all day , like today I stayed i my room all day it’s 4 pm and I got up to get an apple to eat . That’s another thing I never want to eat and I’m never hungry unless I’m w my bf . I use to live alone and bc of financial reasons I had to move back in with my mom . Ever since I moved back here I have been this way . Am i depressed or am i just lazy ?
May i add that i use to be very active i wAs a runner and also went to the gym 6 times a week . And currently I don’t do any of that  I feel like I have no will or desire to do the things that use to make me happy

Answer

No one here can tell you if you are depressed, but if you have concerns it’s always worth talking to your doctor as a start.
A shift like that could be down to many things. It could very well just be a slump and lack of energy and motivation. Sometimes we become complacent in life because we don’t feel a need to try harder. But this doesn’t mean you are lazy or there isn’t an underlying cause for that. First offnot eating will dramatically reduce your energy levels and therefore you will always feel tired. When you always feel tired you don’t want to do anything. When you stop doing things that aren’t essential you can lose motivation to want to get out more so just locking yourself away is so much easier. It can be a vicious cycle really.
It sounds like you could really benefit from talking to someone though, even if it is just your GP to start with. Mention how you have noticed the change in activity and motivation and appetite. Don’t write yourself off. It’s great that you can see this isn’t you and there could be something else going on. Even if it isn’t depression, if you can still get some answers and start to feel better in yourself than it will be worth it. Best of luck with everything.

Answer

Could be a lot of things.  Like a thyroid issue for instance.  Talk to your doctor

Answer

You could be, but depression goes a lot farther than that. I'd see a therapist or psychiatric professional.

Answer

You could be. I’d talk to your doctor or therapist and get a diagnosis.

Answer

No one here can tell you, you need to be assessed by a medical professional. From what you’re saying here I’d say no, you just sound like a low energy person. But that’s because I’m not a medical professional and I don’t know any of your personal history or emotions. Definitely go see a doctor.
