Depression or just lazy?

Preface: I’ve been diagnosed with severe major depressive disorder as a teenager, then last year I got diagnosed with Bipolar type 1 at 20 but I’m not fully convinced I have that. So, I’ve been depressed before. But currently, I just have this mood where I don’t want to do anything but sleep and lay in my bed day, and I’ve been ignoring my classes, my homework, showering, brushing teeth, cleaning, etc I just want to sleep all day. Don’t know if this is depression exactly because it’s not the typical “I want to kms and die” type that I usually get where I am in constant distress. Here I just want to do nothing and Have no motivations. I guess you could easily say that’s depression but I don’t know exactly, I just feel like I don’t want to bother living life, like it’s coming from lazinesss vs not wanting to live anymore. SoI’m trying to decide how I would even go about getting over this situation,? I’m on tons of stupid meds so it’s not a lack of medication. I cant edit the last sentence because reddit is being super weird and Icant see if there are typos.

But basically, what is the line between depression and laziness?
