Laziness or depression?
School's started this month and already I find myself procrastinating. I'd feel sad for no reason and put off important stuff like homework or revision until the night it's due. My brain tells me that it's depression but I don't want to believe it; what normal 8th grader gets depressed and stressed when not even a month has passed? I think I've used this excuse way too many times, I can't keep on giving myself so many excuses. But I still don't want to do schoolwork because I'm scared it'll come out less than perfect. I dunno... Is this me being mentally ill? Or it's just me making up a story to convince myself that I had an excuse to procrastinate?

Hi there,
It seems to me that you are struggling to understand yourself and that is okay. Sometimes we all get lost and do not know how we feel and whether there is a deeper meaning to our actions. What you have told me is that you have been struggling with school work and maybe feel like even if you put your best into a piece of homework, it still won't be very good? I have searched up a few things online and I am hoping you could have a look and get back to me? These are only signs and you should never self diagnose yourself but if you do feel like you relate to this I would suggest you to speak to someone close to you.
I hope you are okay and I will speak to you soon! Have a brilliant day.
@blossombreathe thanks :)
