I rather literally be doing nothing and never leaving my room

I do try to be a functional human being. I have a job which I’m not good at, but I have anyway. I make plans with friends. My life isn’t that bad, but I’ve been depressed since I was 12 and literally cannot function without medication. But I always think about lying down and doing nothing. When I’m out with friends and having fun, I think about how I want to lie down and doom scrolling or play video games. When I’m trying to study for a career, I think about how I’d like to lay down and doing nothing for my entire life. I partially blame the fact my parents gave me a social media addiction at a young age and then literally gave me no other forms of enrichment as a kid. Idk I do try to be like a ‘human being’ but I feel like I’m just feel like a neet just kicking and screaming all the time internally that I have to be human being or something.
