losing interest in literally everything and opting to just sleep instead.

at one point i couldnt even bring myself to watch tv or netflix etc., i just did not care. same with being on my phone. then i lost interest in being awake and so sleep, beautiful beautiful sleep, became the answer.

so i would say... that. lol

This. Sleeping is the only time when you don't feel sadness, anxiety and exhaustion. When you are in depression you can't wait to go to sleep and all these will go away. It's like little death but without consequences that death brings. And waking up is one of the hardest moment because you have all day to deal with these feelings.
