Why do I struggle to get up in the morning?

It is not laziness, then what else can it be?

I think you already know the answer. Look at the name of the community your on. I know it sucks. Do you go to treatment and/or counseling?

[eaglelee257 in reply to aaronm]

Yes I do receive treatment and therapy... when my alarm goes off and I get up once, I feel crap... unlike when I lie in and feel better and end up being late for work. My therapist says how I feel is supposed to be good when I get up once, but it does not work, and I feel guilty because I am so ungrateful for my job.

I would have to agree more with you than your therapist. I'd much rather stay in bed. There's no place in this world I'd rather be than in my bed and that's all day. I can't wait to get in bed. Getting out of bed in the morning gives me anxiety because I have to adult and parent and be responsible! Ugh!!! In bed I'm alone where I find peace and comfort.

So true.

I can only speak for myself when I say it's because I'm waking up to face the day while working on my mental health recovery, make myself power thru and get going in the morning, waking up in a big empty bed as my wife sleeps in her bedroom downstairs due to separation (liklely leading to divorce) and fact we cant afford for anyone to move out,
