Please help me get out of bed & get up

[Guest]

I'm struggling extremely hard, this is my second day in bed & just can't find the will to get up & live. I go to sleep only to wake up & go back to sleep. I’ve no purpose in life & sleep my days away hoping for a miracle.

Help me!

I’ve been here before; I feel for you and hope you start improving! Something that really helped me was picking one small thing to do.

I would get up and wash my face and brush my teeth one day, add some stretches the next, pick a chair to read a book in the next day, journal in a new spot the next. Just one small goal to get you to a different place each day to not overwhelm you, and you can go slowly if you need it, be gentle with yourself.

I’m rooting for you!

Don't forget to take a look at: I'm lying in bed and my heart is pounding fluctuating between 99 and 105!

If you drive, I always just get in the car. You Don't have to leave it but just a quick 10-30 min drive around the town. Its a restart for me. Might help?

Throw the phone into another room. That will get you up. The bed is a prison for anxiety.

Same,, I spent the last two days mainly in my room. I did make my bed but it’s like my safe place. I do try to go outside of my room and do a few things but then I always end up back in here.

This is been so hard and they say it doesn’t last forever but I’ve been doing it for 3 1/2 years and I don’t see anything insight.

You can check also: I don’t understand.. every time I go to bed I get anxiety now

You need to get up and do something however small, then rest, then do something else and rest, carry on like that through the day then look back over the day and see your achievements xx

Sometimes we have to push ourselves, people can support you but you need to find the inner strength to help yourself -- always remember you won't always feel this way, tiny baby steps my lovely big hugs xxxx

Do you work? I don’t have a choice but to get up and go to work or take care of the kids. Not trying to be mean but I just can’t be in bed all day I don’t have a choice.

If you can get up and get a shower or take a walk to the mailbox. Something small.

Set yourself a goal. Get up have a shower and make your bed. If that’s all you accomplish on this day then it’s more than what you accomplished yesterday.
