Does anyone else have a really hard time getting out of bed?

[BlueButterfly111]

I've always had a really hard time with waking up and getting out of bed, but lately it's been worse. I have to like drag myself out of bed now. All I want to do is just sleep forever. I have nothing to look forward to and no reason to get up. The depression is so bad that I don't want to do anything. I'm tired of living

 

[sadalways]

Yeah, i have nothing to look forward to really, and everyday is just the same slog, same boring day and i know it will be like that until the end. Getting out of bed is a task on its own.

 

[divinemistress87]

Very hard . Bed is my safe spot

 

[Forever Sleep]

Yes, it's terrible. Even when I have work, I work from home so- it's really difficult to be disciplined enough to start early.

Plus, it starts to slide so easily. A late night means it's much harder to get up early so- you sleep in, which makes you less tired the regular bedtime the next night and, so on.

I hate how easy it is to slide on every aspect of healthier living- good sleeping cycle, healthy eating, exercise. You do consecutive good days for 100's of days with little reward. You slip a few days and lose ground so quickly I find.

My most effective time to maladative daydream is mornings too. They're so much nicer than my life so, it's so hard to snap yourself out of them. It just seems cruel that so many of the nicer experiences in life are bad for us.

 

[reverieheart]

Yeah, I do. Some days it feels impossible, like there's no real reason to get up. Even when I do get up, it doesn't feel like much of an accomplishment.

Ever since I got fired, I've just been wasting in bed, I'm so full of pain and shame and feeling like a failure

Definitely yeah, i woke up at 2pm its now nearly 7 and i havent left. Im always late to everything because it takes so much to get up. I completely understand you and it sucks a lot, i hope we both get past this but as of right now i dont have any advice

I'm 69 and nowadays everyday though I sleep in a recliner. Almost never leave the house though I'm physically capable. And rarely change clothes or shower but because of all the water I drink I really have no odor. If I did I'd force myself to muster the energy or whatever to do that only cause it'd bug me and I live with my bro.

But I pretty much either sleep or lay around all day, maybe turn the tv on a little whether I actually pay attention or not and don't eat much these days.

 

[human909]

Yes, i've been having a hard time getting out of bed.

 

[ShatteredSerenity]

Yeah I set an alarm for 9 am, but I usually turn it off and doze off until 1 pm or so. I just want to sleep all the time because it's the closest thing to being dead.

 

[-nobodyknows-]

I do. I often lay in bed for hours after waking up for the first time

 

[slowdance]

I did for a long time but my current meds give me motivation. 60mg Lurasidone, 30mg Buspirone, 100mg Lamitrogine. They don't do much about the depression, but they make it so much easier to brush my teeth and shower and do chores and plan how I will CTB

I was like that until I had no bed. Sleeping in shop doorways gives you new motivation to get up, usually fear of getting stabbed or set on fire.

No one should be going through this, I really hope that you find a new safe place for you to call home.

Oh yes, I have been like that for a while but lately it seems to be getting worse because now I really don't care about the things I used to care. It was better when I was angry about the world because at least I was a little motivated to do something.
The only motivation I have today is to wear my mask to show everyone i'm ok, and to ctb which is why I am able to dedicate my time and energy to be here.

If you want a tip to get out of bed, something that worked for me is the simple 5 second rule. Count to 5 in your head and jump out of bed, sort of "the bed is lava" game. Take your time, it doesn't have to 5 seconds.

I hope you find the motivation you need.
