It is good that you are able to talk yourself out of bed becasue that is a sign that you aren't too low to even care. For me, that symptom is a common one and one that serves as an alert for me that things are sinking emotionally within me and that I need to be more vigilant in facing it, otherwise I drop into the "not care" zone, stay in bed, regardless of the consequences (e.g. missing work, school, appointments, people, etc.), and potentially remain in that state for a very long time. One practical suggestion I can offer is the use of an alarm. Set it for a much earlier time than you normally would get out of bed. This gives you a buffer of facing those negative feelings and being able to talk yourself out of bed. This gives you a chance to snooze a couple times or so, if it comes down to it, but having to constantly face the alarm again might give you the time you need to fully make it onto your feet and out of the room.
