I've read a few of ur posts Pegasus and so I know that u didn't mean for ur post to offend but it clearly has struck a nerve with many. Maybe cos "get ur *** out of bed" is what many of us berate ourselves with when we struggle to get up. Atm my new meds are making me so sleepy that I don't even wake up until early afternoon. Cognitively I know its not good to sleep the day away, but I also relish the fact that there's less day to endure...

On a good day I can motivate myself to get up by telling myself to move my @rse etc etc, but as I've explained to my ex-T who clearly didn't get it, if I am at the stage where I can debate in my head whether I get up or not, it's clearly a good day and I'm going to get up. Otherwise I physically cannot stay awake long enough to give myself a 'pep talk'. It frustrates me when ppl say "I was so depressed I stayed in bed for a wk...but then I thought enough is enough and dragged myself out of bed" etc. These ppl don't have clinical depression and have no idea that sheer force of will is not enough to beat this beast. Believe me, if it was I wudnt be in this mess!!
