5 Types of People Who Hide Depression Behind “I’m Just Tired” (and Apathy)

Do you feel like you’re “just tired,” “lazy,” or stuck in apathy… but it doesn’t go away? Sometimes those labels aren’t personality flaws — they can be signs of hidden (masked) depression.

In this video, I break down 5 types of people who hide depression behind “I’m just exhausted,” “I have no motivation,” or “I’m just going through a phase.” We’ll talk about the high-functioning overworker with no energy, the “lazy” procrastinator who feels numb, the cheerful mask-wearer, the isolated homebody, and the rationalizer who explains everything — except their emotions.

If you relate to thoughts like:

“I’m just tired, it’ll pass.”

“I’m just lazy — something is wrong with me.”

“I’m fine… others have it worse.”
…this video may help you see what’s really happening underneath.

⚠️ Important: this video is not a diagnosis and not a replacement for professional help. If you’ve been feeling empty, numb, hopeless, or constantly exhausted for a long time — please consider reaching out to someone you trust, a therapist, or a doctor. Getting help is a strength.
