Getting up

[Carmencp]

Why is it so hard to get out of bed. I make myself get up get mu daughter ready, make breakfast and her lunch. Then take her to school. After all that i crawl back into bed. Want to feel better already. So i will just fake it until i make it.

You know it says your cortisol level is high in the morning. If you have had anxiety and depression for a few days it makes it higher. Started drinking a chamomile tea and green tea with honey. It helps a little. Best of luck

I don't know why it is, I have the same problem.

I used to be amused when people said that getting out of bed was the hardest part of the day. Now, I completely understand.

If you take antidepressants, it can lower your vitamin D, B12, and folic acid. Started taking them. It could be in my head, but it works. So im going to continue it.

I agree with what a few others have said--get some nutrients, good fresh fruit and vitamins into your system first thing. Vitamin B--I agree--can help... a LOT. For me, anyway. Try having a piece of fresh fruit, cup of tea, and some vitamins with good water and go for a walk. That's what I was doing--just to get out--didn't matter how far or how long or whatever. Also, you can tell someone as that brings in a built in accountability partner--you can post on here--tomorrow I plan on going for a walk. I'll do my best to get on here and support you. Good luck. Remember, as much as your daughter needs you, you need you.

I know how that feels.... I'm learning to just accept where I'm at and it OK to feel the way you feel. Hugs!!

awhhh I understand, i went through that. I was widowed at young age, raised my children alone ( he had 7 yrs with my daughter only one with son). I stayed home for 4 yrs as stay at home. I think that might of been alot of it. We do need to get out there, find part time work something. I finally went full time. Hon, do you work? You probably do, maybe shifts? try to get out, try to get a new friend, someone to talk with and DO THINGS with..... we all need people. I take welbrutin. it helps

There were many days I had to force myself to get up. I faked it many many years. So I get that. I can tell you that is does get easier to stop faking and get the help you need and then be free from what depression does to you. I have been free of it for 10 years now so please hold on to that hope. Take one moment at a time. Find someone who you can talk to and who will help you get out of the pit. For me that was God. Never did I think I would be happy again but it’s possible. Praying for you! -Rachel
