Again this morning, right now, I don’t want to get up out of bed. I want to stay here forever. My motivation is lost. I just feel kinda numb. I’m feeling stuff but my mind and body feels like it’s not there.
I don’t know if it’s me allowing thoughts that I wasn’t thinking about to just engrave themselves somewhere into my head and it’s eating away at me. I don’t know what it is. I don’t feel right.
It feels like I’ve got the world weighing on me keeping me down. I feel like there’s something that must be bothering me and I can’t figure it out.
I’m off. I’m not in a headspace that’s healthy and I don’t know why or what to do

You can decide to stay in bed or to get up. If you stay in bed, that is fine. You are allowed to be kind and gentle to yourself. Sometimes we wake up and feel that we HAVE to get up when there is a part of us that doesn't want to. If we start to do a hard battle with the part that wants to stay in bed, that isn't ideal. No one wants a nasty fight.
It may be an idea to offer that part of yourself some kindness and love. Say to that part that wants to stay in bed, "ok, no problem. You want to stay in bed? You feel the weight of the world on your shoulders? I understand. Lets stay in bed for a little while longer. Lets take our time". Imagine you were talking to a frightened child who doesn't want to get out of bed. Kindness and gentleness is usually the best option.
I read your earlier posts. You sound like a courageous person with your desire for all things good and productive.
Be gentle and patient with yourself.
Imagine, you may not have spent as many years practising self love and compassion as you have spent beating yourself up. It takes time and patience. I am years in therapy and continuing. Progress is slow but so worthwhile.
We may never arrive at a place of peace and light but we will certainly be moving towards it. The journey, with all it's ups and downs can be very interesting.
I hope that you can slowly get going and have a good day, similar to the ones you seem to have been having recently.
I have felt like this many days in my life, right now though it seems to be doubly overwhelming. With everything going on around us its no surprise many of us are feeling numb, and energy less. The things that help me are listening to worship music, getting out even a walk will help me, also doing something I love like singing. Even if I have to force myself it does help so much. I am praying for you...that you see the beauty of the little things and are able to get out of bed today with some hope. -Rachel
