How to wake up normally?
Hello everyone,
I'm new on this website so i'm a bit shy and lost. I have been dealing with my depression for about 10 years and I want to try step by step to get over it because i'm just sick of it...
Every morning I wake up with a knot in the stomach, i start to panic, sweat and breathe faster. Then when I calm down I just want to cry, all the negativity is coming and I'm to weak and tired to fight it...
To explain quickly my situation, my father destroyed me mentally all my life : i hate myself, i've lost my confidence, my trust, the feeling of being secure and home.. The fact that I have been bullied helped being scared of people and even if i try my best to talk i did create a distance between my friends and me..And now being in a foreign country I have a fresh start in front of me but i'm unable to embrace it..
I'm building myself really slowly, step by step, that is why i'm asking today : How do you do to wake up normaly, positive and motivate to just embrace the day?
I would really like to hear your advices, I really think I need help in all this and I don't know what to do..
Thank you for reading this post and sorry for the mistakes if I did some (I'm french).
If you have any questions please ask I really want this situation to progress

Sorry to hear about everything you've had to face, but I think it's great that you're gradually starting to build yourself up again, and I really hope that 7cups can help make a positive impact on your progress. In terms of your question - it's a great question!
I often struggle with waking up with a feeling of positivty and motivation, so I understand how it may be really difficult. I've found a few things though that may be helpful 1 main thing is definitely having a routine! This means sticking to a sleep pattern, so perhaps try aiming to go to sleep the same time every night, and also perhaps setting an alarm every morning. Another thing I'd say is to wake up with a purpose! This purpose could literally be anything! Anything from doing a hobby, or making something, or going out somewhere, or being with certain people, just anything that you have planned that will help get you up in the morning In terms of being positive and motivated, well perhaps things like quotes could help. Or maybe watching videos on youtube - there are so many on there that can help inspire and motivate, so I definitely recommend them! Another thing may also be to just wake up every morning, and tell yourself that yes, you are completely worth it! You're going to get up, seize the day, make the most of every second, and acheive everything you set your mind to! I wish you all the best, and I really hope that things start to improve for you!!

Carpe diem - seize the day
