What is the reason that you get out of the bed?

[Shiva_Story]

And what stories from the day play out in your head, as you bid adieu to it and hello to the night?

 

[アホペンギン]

I get out of bed to do things related to my personal hygiene and go outside to take walks and spend some time with cats. Other than that I just spend my days in bed.

I usually think about my desire to ctb and fulfilling this desire, someday, as I fall asleep. Or I am stressed.

And what stories from the day play out in your head, as you bid adieu to it and hello to the night?

I know it's rare, but I've found a job that I truly enjoy, with people who are actually quite wonderful and kind, doing things I find are actually a net positive for the world. When I'm working on my projects I don't feel like myself, I lose my sense of self a bit.

It's when I go home that reality sets in and the dread fills me.

 

[ClownWorld2023]

I can't sleep continuously, that's the only reason really.

If I could sleep 24/7 then I definitely wouldn't get out of bed.

 

[itsraining]

baldurs gate 3, food (this one is a bit dicey lately because I have many many digestive issues), and my friends

 

[jinx <3]

New friends I've made at college, classes I enjoy, and just generally the opportunity to learn more about the nautral world. I'm a sucker for nature and insects.

Problems arise though when I'm on break, going to sleep, or otherwise alone. Not much I knoe of to solve that, though. Hope you all have find things that get you up in the morning soon if you don't have them already. Peace <3.

First thing that came to mind is a scene from True Detective:

Rust: I think the honourable thing for our species to do is deny our programming. Stop reproducing. Walk hand in hand into extinction—one last midnight, brothers and sisters opting out of a raw deal.
Marty: So, what's the point of getting out of bed in the morning?
Rust: I tell myself I bear witness. The real answer is it that it's obviously my programming, and that I lack the constitution for suicide.

There are still things that bring me joy—my cat, music, learning about all sorts of things. I've found something meaningful I can direct my mental energy towards as well, something I can do with the time I have left on this planet that can be actually useful and helpful for others. That's about all I can ask for, really.

 

[Quiet_Cricket]

Setting tasks for myself, watch a film daily, draw something. Distractions really.

Also getting to see my cats.

 

[frozensun]

Hunger and the need to bath

 

[glowworm]

coffee. nicotine (lol). my boyfriend. my friends. my parents. the friend i lost. i owe it to them if not myself

 

[Saxenomorph]

Just to do the last things i want to do in this world. And to make people think that i'm okay so they don't prevent my ctb attempt.

 

[Amyend88]

My beautiful cats

 

[BananiFatFat]

To go to work because I don't want to be homeless again.

 

[Unending]

Nicotine and caffeine are generally the big motivators.

 

[WhatPowerIs]

I unfortunately have to go to college.

 

[venomousSSërpent74]

College,not at the point where ctb can be accomplished, need to get a job,i would love to leave but i cant it's not the right time.yet it always feels nearby

 

[godsseepiestsoldier]

Honestly only to go to the loo or to go to a lab class. If not I stay in bed. Moved my PC to my bed, cooking all that shit. Pretty cozy setup tbh

 

[NeedAnEscape]

The alarm. And how disgusted I feel when I am unhygienic.

 

[RedBuns]

My kids.
Literally, I have to get them ready for school lol. Just because their mom is a depressed and anxious piece of shit doesn't mean they shouldn't get an education.

 

[Lydia12]

go out for pee^^

 

[Don’tDoxMe]

To eat, go to the bathroom, go to mental health appointments, and go to six flags in the weekends. I'm in bed the rest of the time

 

[rosenrot]

getting the satisfaction of getting some money even tho its basically nothing

 

[Ksmиda]

To do the things that make me feel better (listening to music, eating, playing games)

 

[icari]

Basically just to keep my job I'm case I make it out the other end of this and still need money.

 

[Tragoedia Vitae]

Honestly? So I can drink coffee the way I like it (with heavy cream). That's the only thing I've been looking forward to those days. It's a rare spot of pleasure in a day that is otherwise filled with tedium, melancholia, and existential anxiety.

 

[UtopianSoliloquies]

I honestly don't really know. I feel like I'm already dead and trapped inside a fleshy automaton that goes through the motions of being a student. I guess I'm just afraid of severely messing up anything in my life before I'm fully deadset on CTB.

 

[tiger b]

I can't get out of bed today.

 

[rabid_aspie_yokai]

To go to therapy/cook for myself and my snails

 

[R_N]

Bathroom. :)

 

[deadbody]

Basic things. Eat, feed pets, listen to music.
