The pain of waking up.

[Magenta]

Every morning, it's a struggle to get out of bed. It hurts to know I have another full day ahead of me. Throughout the day, I have to pretend I'm okay but I still drag my feet. It's like I'm just passing through the motions but not really living. I then get home, exhausted and dizzy and go to bed wishing I never had to wake up and I could sleep forever.

I broke out of this cycle once after my half-hearted and failed suicide attempt and after my hospital stay but it always comes back.

Yeah, I know how you feel. That's usually a large sign of Depression. I know when I was heavily depressed my mom would battle with me to get me out of bed. Literally have to grab my arm and start pulling me out of bed.

Every once in a while I get to feeling that way, but I do things to help myself avoid it. Meditation is a big helper. You could look into it. There are all types of it; breathing meditation, cognitive, etc. Google it sometime and look into it if you want. It helped me so maybe it could help you.

Actually I have tried them. They help a little bit. I've found that I get so depressed that I lose all will to do anything to help myself. I just go through the day aiming to go back to bed.

I feel exactly the same way sometimes, and I'm on tons of meds. I'm gonna keep an eye this thread to see what solutions people offer.
