Hi Markdl,

I'm sorry to hear that. I have been through a stage in life where I would stay in bed 24 /7.
Many years have passed but I still feel like doing that sometimes. What worked for me was not just to try to get up - and honestly, it won't work. I had to access the depression at its core.

I don't take meds, and I was able to come around with a new lifestyle. We all know how exercising, therapy, yoga, etc, are powerful "treatments", but my technique was to find something I was completely attached and passionate and started doing this activity at the time I could POSSIBLY give it a try: in the evening. With time, I felt motivated to try more and more, and there was only one way to accomplish those things, I needed more hours in my day. So instead of waking up at 1 pm, I gradually started getting up earlier and earlier,.. 12, 11, 10, 9.. nowadays I wake up at 6 AM. I created a ritual, wake up, drink a cup of green tea is a must. Sometimes I relapse and sleep until 1 pm, however, I already built a biological system.

If you start getting your body conditioned to small things you can go so far... obviously, everyone is different, but my advice for you is, get out of your comfort zone. Start small, and you won't even notice the drastic improvements over the time.

Be strong!
