what i mean when i say “i can’t do that” – the depression edition

• i am unable to do that 
• i don’t have the energy to do that
• i cannot wrap my head around what you’re asking me to do
• there is too much in my head right now
• i can not do that 

what people hear: 

• i am unwilling to do that
• i am being stubborn for no reason
• i am being dramatic
• i am lazy
• i need you to repeat that only louder
• i need a push
• i don’t want to do that
