You may notice:
- Washing dishes feels like a huge effort
- Showering or cleaning feels overwhelming
- Even replying to messages feels exhausting
It’s not lack of motivation—it’s a reduced capacity to cope with demands.
3. You’ve lost interest in things you used to enjoy
One of the key signs of depression is loss of interest or pleasure.
You might:
- Stop enjoying hobbies you once loved
- Feel “nothing” even during fun activities
- Prefer isolation without knowing why
This is not laziness—it’s often called emotional numbness or anhedonia.
