If you want to move but you literally feel like you can’t, that isn’t a lack of discipline. It’s a symptom.

2. Nothing really makes you feel better
Normally, if someone is simply feeling “lazy” or just having a bad day, certain things can still improve their mood. The smell of their favorite meal, watching a comforting movie, or spending time with a close friend can usually help brighten their day. Even during difficult moments, there is often a sense that things will eventually get better.
One of the defining characteristics of depression, however, is the lack of that relief.

What makes depression so painful is that the emotional heaviness often remains no matter what a person tries to do. They may go for a walk, eat their favorite food, spend time with loved ones, or sleep for hours, yet still wake up feeling just as emotionally exhausted and weighed down as before.
This is usually expressed in terms of a lack of emotions. Being “sad” does not mean that you feel bad like other people do – you are simply “blank.” That means that you feel no connection with yourself, as if you are watching someone else’s life behind a misty window. This can make it even more annoying when everyone around you thinks that you are lazy because of how you sit around doing nothing.
