Hi my name is Irene and I'm new here.

Lately I've been staying in bed even more than usual, around 18 to 21+ hours a day. I only leave my bed for showers, use the bathroom, and grab something to eat. About one a week I'll have a therapy appointment and sometimes I'll run errands or get fast food (I eat 2x a day).

The rest of the time I spend sleeping, daydreaming (65%), on twitter or tumblr, online or watching tv.

What's nagging at me is that I can't bring myself to get out of bed for any other reason like doing things on my to do list, go for a walk, see a movie, etc.

I set the alarm for 9 every morning and tell myself that all I have to do is wake up and just do it. But in the pit of my stomach I know that I'm just go l fooling myself. No matter how determined, I end up hitting the snooze button 5+ times until I call it a day and turn off the alarm.

I don't see myself changing. I'm addicted to comfort & safety of my bed and I have developed an EXTREMELY avoidant personality.

I can't & won't go on line this for too long.

I've been job searching and applied for 2, but I've heard nothing back. Everything else feels too intimidating.

Am I the only one like this? Has anyone overcome this and would like to share some advice?
