I have a question about this episode 124: Kristen Carney | Why Depression Isn't Just Your Own Battle and this Overcoming Laziness. I feel stuck in a never-ending loop. Most of the time, I'm too tired and depressed to do anything, and when I don't do anything, I get more depressed. I feel depressed and tired when I'm alone, but as an introvert, I also get tired around people. I have zero motivation to get anything done, even if there's a reward. How can I break this cycle?
