I'm also like that, though I know that for me it's a combination of reliance on other people ("I can't go if my wife isn't going") and pure laziness/the vestiges of depression.
Recently my wife and I were talking and she said "I realized that in reality it doesn't matter if I go and spend all my savings in one day, because the social services office will only help you if you don't have any savings. So why am I not just doing that?" But of course it's because we don't know how it will go and while we wait for their help we won't have any money, and her parents don't pay for stuff for us. And it feels a lot worse to really not have any money as opposed to have some small amount of savings that you ration.
I have to get my ID too, we bank-transferred the money to them a couple weeks ago and still haven't gone yet... ugh... I don't know what happens if you wait too long. At least there's three Burger Kings that want workers now, if I apply to all of them I might have a chance lol.
