Does my anxiety cause me to be lazy?

If im anxious that i wont get something done perfect i will procrastinate until it is too late and then get even more anxious because ill have no time. Stating that my procrastination is labeled as being lazy more often than not then yes. It does cause me to be lazy.

As someone who suffers from Social Anxiety and Panic Attacks, I believe Anxiety doesn't make you lazy. Have you ever felt exhausted of being in a pressuring situation? For people like ourselves, we feel this a lot don't we? I feel we are just too emotionally tired to really do many things. Of course, it won't last forever :)

No, absolutely not. From my experience, anxiety causes you to be tired: right now I am so exhausted from the medication and from the constant worrying. It makes you drained, and you have to listen to your body, you are not lazy.

I wouldn't say it causes you to be lazy, in my case I cannot think about anything but what is going on in my mind, if this is the same for you, then how can it be laziness when your mind is working overtime? Being lazy is choosing not to do things because you simply can't be bothered doing them, a lot of people with anxiety avoid doing things because they are already dealing with so much internally. Not everyone can concerntrate on doing things they enjoy, or things that need to be done when anxious.

I think that depends, does your anxiety cause you to stay inside? Are you afraid to do things? Social and anxiety caused by certain things may make you feel like you are lazy.

No. Being unable to do things because of anxiety or illness and being lazy is not the same thing. The fact that you are anxious about not being productive shows that you have a good work ethic and aren't lazy. You just need some recovery time.

I don't think that lazy would be the right word to describe it, but anxiety can cause someone to be so anxious and worried about situations that they then don't want to do anything.

Yes , because when aperson is extremly anxious asympathetic system which consume energy is stimulated as if it the body is in amiddle of emergency and thus you became exhuasted and your brain is working expecting the worse and you can not get enough of deep sleep and you haven't enough energy and you feel lazy

Anxiety does not cause you to be lazy. It just makes you feel void of doing anything even if it is as simple as drinking water. Being lazy is not the perfect word for people going through Anxiety. Afterall you dont opt to be lazy

I don't think so. Your anxiety might be paralyzing from time to time, but what is your heart doing? What is your brain doing? You're looking for a way forward, or out, or through. As long as you feel like you're doing the best you can in that moment, there is no reason to beat yourself up for being "lazy".
