Addiction, laziness & Depression
Posted: Tue May 26, 2026 6:43 pm
What do you think the link is between addiction/bad habits, and feelings of sadness?
I noticed not long ago that almost everyday Im reading a romantasy novel or watching a reaction video. Im pretty aware that these are forms of escapism. From what, I'm not entirely sure. I have a decent enough life, a decent enough family. These days, I'm not sad about anything, just really really really lazy. It's summer break so, I'm temporarily free from the pressures of architecture.
The thing is, I've done nothing this entire month, and yet I'm still dreading the school semester. I thought maybe I read all the time to avoid having to be called on. But to drown yourself in something so much, for 24 hours everyday, even neglecting your hygiene, doesn't seem healthy to say the least.
I'm also a pretty lonely girl. Recently, like most teenage girls, I've been craving romantic connection. But I'm so burnt out that my grades are dropping. I don't need a partner if I can barely pass math, you know?
So I was thinking, how are all these things connected to my self diagnosed depression? I wanted to learn more about myself, and I'm sure I could find an article about it...but (big surprise) I'm lazy.
What are your addictions? Also, I'm really sorry because rereading this has made me realize my concerns are oh so trivial.
