Is this depression, burnout or something else?

NAS80746

Hi, I just want to lie on my bed under my bed tent and play candy crush or cards on my phone all day. 

I recently put my bed tent back up after 5 months of it being stored away. 

Am I having a burnout period? Or am I depressed? Or am I just really lazy?

  • I agree with Fibonacci Squid that it could be either or none (or both).  A lot depends on how much it's interfering with the rest of your life.  Are you still eating, sleeping normally, working (if you work) etc.?  Even so, burnout and depression are hard to distinguish, I find.  I think I'll never know for sure which which I lost years of my life to (I think probably both, but it's hard to tell).
