Struggling To Start Over

As much as I want to move forward with my life I feel stuck in my depression. I stay in bed all day staring at a wall not knowing what to do or where to begin. I need to start working going to meetings and church. But I can't get up I feel all hope is lost. :pensive:

Bed rotting it's a term. Open your curtains. Get some light to your brain. If you can get out of bed. Rot on the couch if you must. Save your bed for sleep. My brother used to live with me and I could not believe the struggle, but you must move. You deserve happiness.

Hey, I noticed your other share about exercising. Are you lifting? If so, what's your favorite body part to train? I love back and chest.

Each day when you get up move for ten minutes even if it's simply walking through the house just move. Then write down three things to do that day. Doesn't matter if it's as simple as check the mail. Simple things just make sure you do them. It's not how big of a step or steps you take , it's just making sure to take those steps no matter how small are in a positive direction. Don't sell yourself short you can do this. I promise you can do this

I have been where you’re at, and it’s a very dark lonely place. All I can say my friend, is reach out. As hard as that may be, somebody will take your hand. Don’t let this evil disease take anything else from you. You are so worth it.

Even if you can’t get up and go, bring those things to you. Some churches stream online so you can attend services. Therapists will do virtual sessions with you. Recovery meetings have online sessions as well. Do what you can, where you are, with what you have. Learn to surf instead of fighting the waves of depression. You can do it!
