RE: the positive side How well I know what you are talking about. I also have a really hardtime getting out of bed in the morning, And sometime I just stay in bed all day. I have such a difficult time functioning. I just don't get much accomplished. I try to do a few things every day, but there is so much that needs to be done, that I can never get it all done. I think I'll try your method, giving myself a pat on the back for what I do accomplish and stop feeling so guilty all the time
