When it's really tough to get out of bed in the morning when you are really depressed, is there something that helps you get out of bed and keeps you going?
I know for me it's my 2 dogs. I have to get up and feed them and let them outside. They need me as much as I need them. If I didn't have my two dogs, there really wouldn't be a reason to get out of bed and stay out of bed everyday when I am in a depressed state. What keeps you going everyday?

Wow-hard question.
Some days I wake up feeling well and it's easy. Other days I am only motivated that if I DON'T get up, I won't have a job |

Hmm....The absolutely last resort is to think that if I don't manage to make/keep a life for myself I'll have to be taken into the care of others...

My husband and my kids are what keep me going and help me get up in the morning. Without them, I would probably be in bed all the time.

My husband and, even more so, my kids. I know my kids need me to do my part so they can do what is expected of them.

I have no idea. No spouse or partner. My kids and grandkids don't live here. My 2 dogs died and I live in an apartment where you can't have pets. When I was suicidal 6 years ago, I kept going for my dogs.
Sheer stubbornness??

My friends. Knowing that they are there for me and are willing to talk me through all my dark times is all that keeps me going on some days.

I'm not sure, myself. Usually my own sheer stubbornness to fall victim to myself does the trick, but lately it's been failing on me & I've been crumbling beneath the pressure. My boyfriend & the goals I have set for my future should be enough, but I am emotionally disconnected a lot of the time from what I know I intellectually want.

Used to be my kids and job. But the kids grew up and I had to go on disability for the job. If I wake up depressed, I force myself to get up. Somehow, accomplishing that pushed me to do more, and before you know it, I feel good. I really struggle in the winter with Seasonal Affective Disorder, though. There is nothing worse than waking up to pitch black. It puts me in a black mood. But in summer, I push through the mental pain.
No pain, no gain. LOL
