Too depressed to get out of bed?

[Anonymous]

Any tips?

[horsenrhinounicorn]

Write a list of things you look forward to doing each day. Be consistent with the times you sleep. Write down what you do have control of, what you don’t have control of, you should not worry about because that you cannot change. Set simple reasonable goals as accomplishments. The more goals you achieve the more you accomplish. Don’t overdue yourself in one day, take on one thing at a time and see each thing as progress. If you need the house cleaned and can afford it, hire a professional. They see dirty places all the time, you hire professionals because their job is to be professional and give you the respect and help you do what you do not have time to do. Other things to do if you can afford: bubble bath, hair styling, manicure, nails, massage, etc

When everything is in the dumps, the best thing you can do is start exercising. That first step is the hardest, but I can tell you that no drug on earth can give you a better high than a natural one that comes from inside and carries throughout the day.


It takes discipline, sacrifice, courage, overcoming adversity to achieve being in great shape, but it is something that is worth it.
It far beats other things in life where we are only happy for a short time. It’s why we repeat them so much. It can be with sex, drugs, eating food, smoking cigarettes, etc.
You start with that foundation and I think you’ll see life much different.


I was born with a blood clotting disorder and CharcotMarieTooth CMT, I’ve had to get eye surgery, full mouth of veneers, a sometimes twitch from a head injury. We all got our vices. If I can do it, you can too. Best of Luck!

It's all about WHY and HOW LONG?

If it's been more than three weeks and there has been no PRECIPITATING EVENT...

By precipitating event, I mean, something CONCRETE happened to plunge you into this depression: A death in the family, the end of a longterm relationship, loss of a job, failure of a test in an important class.

If NONE of those things has happened, you might be suffering from clinical depression, meaning you have a mood disorder and you need to see a doctor for a diagnosis and get therapy and medication to support your recovery.

Remember: Length of time and reason. Even if there IS a reason, if it's been too long, head to the doctor to get help. You might need temporary help to get OUT of the depression and therapy to move you forward. GOOD LUCK!!

Go with it for a few days and let yourself get some rest. And start looking for a therapist. If you can’t get out of bed, an online therapist would be good. Then you could do the session on your laptop, while still in bed. Let them know you’re depressed the the point of not being able to leave your bed and see if they have a way to help with that.

Explore what makes you depressed.

I would describe feeling depressed as a feeling of inability to change undesirable circumstances.

What about your circumstances is undesirable? Why do you feel like the circumstances won't change? (Note: I'm not asking to think about the solutions.) Explore what is it that you believe that makes the circumstances feel unchangeable. Challenge those beliefs.

Breakfast is my main motivation for getting out of bed.

Don't go to bed, sleep on floor/couch/park bench, instead?

[Neosporin]

Write a journal of what you want out of life or what’s on your mind right now. Watch a few good movie

[Jay3344]

Meditate and start to visualize something you want to achieve. Maybe working towards that goal will give you some motivation to get out of bed

Are you hungry? Go to the fridge and eat some healthy food. Instead of going back to your room, go to your basement (or outside) and start excersising. Excersising really helps me cope.

[SnakeBoop]

break it down into a smaller goal.

[Visionary7]

What can be smaller than getting out of bed? 😅

[SnakeBoop]

@Visionary7 getting one leg out of bed. Sitting up in bed. Whipping the sheets off until you get too cold and get up anyway.
So, fairly simply.
