I also find it difficult to get out of bed in the morn and stay in bed till late morn. I lay down several times in the day as I feel depressed and lethargic. I guess anti-depressants can help with this but my psych doc is reluctant to prescribe me one as I have bipolar and he is scared that my depression may turn into mania as I have had two manic attacks in the past two years. You can get in touch with a professional for help.

I also do a lot of self-talk to help me deal with this situation. When I can't get up at all day and say stay in bed for over 20hrs, I try to utilise the remaining 4hrs as much as I can. I have made a daily plan and try to follow it as much as possible. Intially I couldn't accomplish even 20percent of it but now Im doing better. If it's just the anxiety and the feeling that you don't want to do anything, you can still force yourself out of bed, but if you feel very tired, worn out and sleepy, which I do at times, it's gets almost impossible to get out of bed and then I have to seek professional help.

But never lose hope. Things do get better but they take time. You have to be a little patient. Have courage. Never give up.

Hope this helps. Hugs
