Laziness is killing my motive to read, learn and do things. It has spread like a cancer within my body. I often sit and think endlessly. What do you think can lift me up and be normal than lazy? According to your experience with laziness please let me know how you overcame.

I have to forgive myself daily. I compare myself to my family members who are more active and enjoy more in life than me. I would like to atleast be 75% of what they are at the moment and continue being the same for rest of my life.

Dont compare yourself. That will only invite feelings of unfair judgement on yourself

I just have no one else to lookup to in real life apart from them. What do I do then just do what I can to satisfy my mind.
You’ll have to absorb yourself in interests like reading books or the newspaper. I feel that helps you remove from feeling the need to think about others personally

What about meeting people, socializing with people and conversing with people. Does reading alone helps with that or something else need to be done.
My father motivates me the most, I would love to accomplish 75% of what he is accomplishing in life. He pushes me to do things and be responsible.

Do you have siblings or cousins?
Unfortunately, i dont rely on freindships bc nobody is available. I have to try socialise with brothers or avoid thinking about socialising using reading and youtube
Weekly case manager works with me on self care. Getting important things done like doctors appointment, how to handle situations that come up.
I have both. But they hate me for being so off track and never talk to me well. They are busy and looking after their lives and have no time for me. I only have family and colleagues to look up to.
I havent overcome it. Im too lazy to even shower more than once every 5 to 7 days. Im too lazy to make something to eat. But i do put on clothes everyday and brush my teeth once a day so that is good. Everything feels hard tho.

This might sound off or odd. But consider yourself lucky. Because it means they arent going to waste your time. Have you considered reading up on mental toughness and resilience? Try to tackle your thought patterns
Im currently in this process myself. My siblings and cousins are showing their true colours and so im forcing myself to fix my mindset instead of talking to them or relying on social support from them
I’ve been like you for a long time. Now I am making a little progress, but not much. I don’t think I need to be a workaholic, but I do want to make my mark.

My last visit about four days ago with my primary care doctor was a Tele visit.
I told her I haven’t showered in three weeks. Because I had a hard callus forming and cracking on my heel of the skin that wasn’t being washed off.
She got very concerned and asked did my psychiatrist know about this and asked where she worked and what her name was I hope she didn’t call her and start some stress.
Where do you read that from? I am seeking power from movement that I can make inside house to overcome laziness. Also my hobbies that I rely on. I just want to see myself doing lot of activities and movements to counter laziness. The spark is yet to come for me. I hope to see it around the corner somewhere.

Maybe dont use the word laziness. It implies you have control over it and it sounds like you dont.
I think you are being too hard on yourself. My grandmother always used to say comparisons are odious.

It’s just because I am needed to perform in my job. And I don’t know how. I am trying to learn how to be good at my job.

Are you capable? Do you believe you can do the job?

I believe I can do the job, if I can understand the job. Understanding part is tough for me. For now I see myself as someone who has 50 50 chance of surviving a tough job. This seems like a tough job. Involves handling tough questions and concepts.
