I've been severely depressed for months now, and since I don't have set hours at work (I come and go whenever I want) I'm finding it really hard to get out of bed unless I have an early morning meeting. Does anyone have any tips or advice? They would be greatly appreciated.

My beautiful child is my motivation but doesn't mean it isn't difficult still. Just a great motivation!

I like to wake up early enough so that I have time to drink my tea peacefully and do at least an hour of yoga. I try and keep my mornings as relaxing as possible so that I'm not stressed out for the rest of the day.

went to the hospital psych ward, got up "on time", and sleep in rarely since. I reminded myself who I am to others, who I am as others lead me to think and be... I reminded myself that I have mood times, so I can max out the lesser bad mood time, and I choose what emotional resources I have, and I without ritual observe embodiment of my emotional resources. I rely on rationalities, and especially novelty. I make study a thing, and I do many things each day that are not tasks. I avoid sedentarianism when I can, and avoid bed sores when I can, remembering the anthropologist Bones who can tell people all about who was a set of bones. I think of attending to selves I have that are hodgepodged, and I yearn to. I peacefully protest within and without. These things I get out of bed for. Having a breakfast available helps, fasting not beyond the third day or not... I enjoy my body, and seek to be intellectual. I have future goals that I have hindrances to starting such endeavors. I get up, first, and then see why I did.

My only motivation for getting out of bed is breakfast. I hope that changes, and i find a bigger goal or purpose to get out of bed

Those rare passions that bring more joy than sleeping in late.
