Am I lazy or is it the illness?

I think it is the illness. I remember my first job, it was the hardest I ever worked in my life, 40 hours a week a whole summer, I worked so damn hard. It wasn’t easy, but it was manageable. Then after that I was getting high, but working 40 hours a week, I just get a way different FEEL of back then, for working 40 hours a week. Now I can’t work 20 hours…it just feels like its the illness. I mean I was in prodromal state working 40 hours a week, but still, the actual illness, and with the meds, makes it so much more difficult.

No you are not lazy @Goyankees (Chew).
It’s the illness and the meds.
They take a toll on motivation.

I used to work long hours when I was a teenager but now that I’m sick I have stressors/side effects which prevent from working properly.
