Can stress lead to laziness and apathy?

Because I am the living evidence.

Of course I read all the “9 ways to be productive”, “10 steps for your heatly life” or “150 things you have to do to get from the fact your both parents were brothers with pedophilic proclivity”, but none of them speaks about laziness as a symptom of stress!

Maybe you remember the situations, when you are supposed to do some imporant activity like studying for an exam, managing loads of calls or having a rather ridicolous deadline of your project, but you just do anything else to avoid it. Tidying up the chaotic mess in your room, cleanig your keyboard, making order in your DVDs or even on your harddisk (!) can help you avoid the incoming menace.

But I … just do nothing. I keep sleeping, because it is less trendy than commiting a suicide and if I can’t, I just stare, browse, click and refresh. Click and refresh, paint nonsense with mouse gestures and it has come so far I am writing about it on this website! Damn my apathy! I should have been reading like three books a day, but I just can’t presuade myself!

I hope I’ll get over this self-deploring period soon and start getting ready for that friggin exam…

Or is it just the other way around? Just a depressive illusion of doing-nothingness that pushes you to the “Nah! I’ve done absolutely nothing yet!”? But the answer is: Get a life, its all about luck.
