Getting out of bed has been impossible for me at times. Now for 5 days a week I go into my doctors office, everyday at 8:30 AM. Sometimes I just talk to the front desk but I got up, got out of bed, got dressed, and get outside. The hardest part of the day is over. Not sure if you can try this but it might be worth a shot.

It might sound like an excuse?...but I have had 'it' for so long...
sometimes 'it' would 'lift' for a bit and some enjoyable moments would flow along....even just moments of indescribable joy and enlightenment...probably because of the absence of 'it'
And then 'whuuump!...'its' all back...I fight it passively and aggressively and recklessly and despairingly....and yes I do give up sometimes.
But the last two days I have managed to get outside into the world...out of my 'cave' ...just a tiny tiny expectation that something good might happen or that 'flash' of enlightenment might arrive to give me a boost
thanks everybody
