I have something else that gets me going: it's called "fear of law school professors and their hatred of lateness."

Needing to pee always gets me up. Then once I'm up I usually decide to stay up and get going.

I have those days more days then I don't. I wish I knew what to do I figured it's some depression or something.

I need a soda first thing in the morning or I can't function and I'll pass the fuck out! My car is currently broken so today I couldnt run for a soda and ended up having to take a nap. :-(

I totally understand you...thought I was the only one! lol. I have really bad depression...sometimes I don't want to get out of bed but I usually do to go work. I LOVE to sleep which is bad...I go to bed around 2 am and wake up around noon, terrible I know! Sometimes I get up motivated to work on my EF reviews.

I drink a Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi during the warm months. When it's cold, I will drink a couple of cups of coffee.

There are days that I don't even want to get out of bed either. I've been feeling "blah" a lot lately, where I just don't feel like I have much to look forward to. My sleeping schedule is off too. I'm not on a "normal" routine at all. :/

My cats usually help me get out of bed. They will jump onto the bed and meow at me. One of my cats even steps on my chest and sits there, sniffing my face, and nudges me.

Coffee or tea is always a nice thing, but I've found doing a few quick jumping jacks wakes me up more than anything.

On those days, my kid comes bounding in the room noisily. That usually gets me out of the bed, and after some caffiene I can pass as being awake.

I find it hard to get out of bed even if there's something I really want to get up and do. I'd like to find a magic pick me up that worked for me.

Nothing, really.
I will lay there and sulk until I need to pee, but I'll go right back.
I'm trying to force myself out of this rut, but I'm not moving too fast.

I have no say in the matter my body clock is up before 6am. I do drink green tea though to keep me energized!

Honestly, I am not a doctor, but if you are feeling the way I do.. you should see a doctor or talk to a therapist. It can help greatly. xoxo I wish you luck.

I sometimes do that too. I usually try to go to sleep around 9pm since my boyfriend goes to bed then (he has to wake up at 5am for work) and I lay there and I lay there.. and I'm just not tired. I get up. I'm up till around 2 or 3, or I don't even go to sleep and just wait for him to wake up, then go back to bed, take a xanax to relax my shakyness, and sleep.

Cats are amazing creatures. I have two. They are my babies. Anastasia and Sir. Anastasia is mine and Sir is my boyfriends, they got along great when they first met. It is like having two children. They sneak into the bedroom around 4 in the morning, get in between us, and purr. Making those cute sounds. Then they pounce on us and wonder why we aren't feeding them yet! Lol.

I understand the "I don't have much to look forward to" thing. I don't really either. I have no responsibilities. I like to keep the house clean. I can't drive anywhere (DMV and doctors literally won't let me), I bake sometimes and make jewelry if I'm in a really good mood.. but I really have nothing to do during the day.

Your welcome and yes it is a full time job I am home with the baby all day while my son is in school. Thank you I am also hoping gets better it is hard at times but I manage and have to remember to keep my cool. It does not help when my bi polar is acting up but I have to remember they are only kids sometimes they don't know better. Big hugs to you as well.

Some days I'm just too exhausted for anything to work. I've overslept 3 alarms before due to being a little depressed and quite tired. I just try to keep the day's work to a bare minimum and recover all the chores the next day!
