In my experience, being depressed takes less effort than not being depressed.
I live in a small city and I would spend most of my days working then going home to play games and watch Netflix while slowly becoming a hoarder living in garbage.
Then I started walking everywhere, to coffee shops, to music venues, etc. Every place that I walked to was an excuse to get out of the house and be active. Whenever I had those walks, I had time for a lot of self reflection and exposure to meaningful experiences and people that I would have never had if I stayed inside bingeing on Netflix. I still get bummed out at times, but I don't daydream about suicide anymore.
