Separate "lazy" from "depressed". You sound clinically depressed to me. Too many people here give advice like, "Well, get your lazy ass in gear!" when they see a depressed person. It doesn't help.

Go get checked out mentally (psychiatrist) and physically (doctor). Trying to shoulder the weight of a mental or physical disorder will just drain you further.

I've battled depression to a draw for decades. Psychiatry helped me.

Take care, brother.

Cheers!

Have you checked your T levels?

Three versions of you exist: past, present, and future. The past has already been written and cannot be changed, the present you is the here-and-now, the future you is what you want to be. Future you needs to be your best fucking friend and everything you do needs to be in his best interest. Future you wants to spin plates, you better get to spinning. Future you wants to be well-respected, you better start doing some respectable shit with him in mind. Future you wants to be promoted and you better believe he’s gonna hate you if you’re not trying to help him do it.

With that being said, the way you’re describing yourself isn’t always just laziness, sometimes it can be depression so I’d look into some online therapy during this quarantine and also take some time to be introspective. Best of luck.

First thing I would try is journaling a plan for each week and day. Write down exactly what you need to do that day to stay on track to accomplish your goals.

If you still can’t stick to it, you may be depressed. In that case seek a therapist or doctor for meds. But meds should be a last resort.

I'm in the same boat. Could you please let me know how you you're gonna deal with it so I can try it too

check your thyroid, t levels, electrolytes, estrogen and estradiol.

make sure your diet is on point and you eat enough of protein, greens and fruits. Make sure you work out at least 4 times a week

Additionally fish oil, b vitamin, I'd recommend d vitamin as well but unless you are deficient you might do more harm than good. most people are still on the lower end, at least in europe.

Rest well and get at least 8 hour uninterrupted sleep every day.

If after 3 months you don't see a difference, consider TRT maybe if test is not in the high end already. People really say that shit can change your life

Oh and check your prolactin, if it is in the high end, I'd suggest cutting porn off completely and limiting your jerk off sessions. Additionally if your SHBG is high, try including more monounsaturated fats in your diet (try brazil nuts)
