I’m a 30-year-old female, and I feel like I might be the laziest person on the planet. I have absolutely no drive to do anything; even when I have work due, I spend most of my time lying in bed reading books. There are days when I only eat one meal because I can’t be bothered to cook. Even when I’m hungry, I tell myself I should just sleep instead of putting in the effort to make food. I usually put things off until the very last minute, and it takes an incredible amount of willpower just to finish a single chore. Any physical activity, like getting groceries, leaves me with a headache once I’m home. I had blood work done that showed iron deficiency anemia, so I take iron supplements occasionally. I don’t think I’m actually sick; it feels more like I’ve just become extremely lazy over the years, even though I was very active as a child and young adult. I’ve always been on the thinner side, and my BMI is currently 15.81. I don’t feel unhappy, so I don’t think it’s depression. I watch a massive amount of pica ASMR, usually just as background noise. I’m not sure what else to include—feel free to ask anything that might help explain why I’m fine with having no goals in life.
This isn’t a diagnosis, but what you’re describing sounds a lot like depression. If you told a doctor this, they would almost certainly screen you for it. Depression is a mental health condition and involves much more than just feeling sad. This isn’t just laziness. It could be a primary condition like Major Depressive Disorder, or secondary to something else like your anemia, or even another issue entirely like burnout, a thyroid problem, or an autoimmune disease. There’s no way to know for sure without professional help. You are also significantly underweight, which can cause long-term health problems and might require medical guidance to recover safely. You should talk to your doctor or a psychiatrist.
This isn’t my specific field, but some of what you’ve mentioned sounds like it could be executive dysfunction. You might want to look into that and see if it resonates with your experience.
