How do you get out of bed in the morning?
Waking up and getting out of bed (especially since I'm a university student and I essentially make my own schedule/study time) is the hardest thing.
Trying to wake up at 9, hitting snooze 12 times and barely rolling over at noon, is a constant struggle. I never want to face the day. I just want to stay wrapped up and asleep where I don't have to exist. but the later I wake, the worse I often feel.
So, tell me, what can I do to get myself up? What do you do to get yourself up?
Today forced out before I woke up, to unload my truck
I opened my eyes after a nightmare and never wanted to sleep again.
Today at my own speed, it's wonderful, cup a hot coffee, relaxing before I do some work
I know the feeling oh too well.
It takes me a very long time to get out of bed, a lot of the time I end up staying in bed for hours and not leaving my room.
What I try to do is remind myself that I'll only feel worse when I stay in bed, and I don't want the anxiety/my mood to get any worse. So I start with eating something, or if I'm not really hungry, skip that and take a hot shower or bath.
I didn't get out of bed today
Checking Twitter on my phone doesn't help! But setting an alarm for a reasonable time does. Also knowing the weather will be nice and I have stuff to do that I won't have to worry about once it's done.
At my own pace, very relaxed, got to stretch out, enjoy my coffee, I need more sundays
The first few minutes I do what I love! I play games ,do a puzzle piece, or read something. 😊
This morning quiet, for the first hour, almost got to enjoy cup of coffee.
Reluctantly , mainly because i have too otherwise it wouldnt happen , when im asleep is the only real chance i get a break from my negative thoughts
@7fullcups Sometimes I don't. I'm overwhelmed with a emptiness and with thoughts, but I fight a lot - so I get up. Especially as sleep gets worse and worse I try every way of getting away from my thoughts if I have energy.
@7fullcups I'm right there with you! hang I there that's all we can do and try for better days
You can wish for better days ... but ive been waiting along time , i would say you just accept it and live with it.... which is also sucks its a loose loose situation .Confused197
