I just want to lay in bed and ignore the world. It has been a while since I just wanted to do that. I really don't feel like I'm doing anything good for anyone. what do you do when you feel like this?

Sometimes I just lay there until I realize it’s pointless to just lay in bed . Sometimes when I’m in pain from arthritis I might stay longer, but generally I get up for at least an hour or more. Sometimes I end back in bed because I feel tired. This is rare but it has happened.

I think just laying in bed one’s life moves slowly and depression sets in I “HATE DEPRESSION” and a sense of hopelessness (been there done that) it’s a dark hole with absolutely nothing in it but “regret and misery” which often leads to death. I would rather fight this darkness with something different either in my life or live for someone else.

Sometimes it’s ok to take time alone in bed, but I don’t like it if “it takes over.” I rather dictate my future (with my God) than having someone, or something else do it.

My depression lifted but I still spend time in bed. I don't have any interests, not even TV. Last interest I had was swimming.

I've been feeling this way too lately--wanting nothing more than to lie around in bed all day and then feeling guilty about it even though I know I shouldn't feel bad about something I can't control. sometimes I set tiny goals for myself and try to pay attention to each little accomplishment--e.g. I remembered to drink water, I sat up in bed, I texted someone back.

One thing I might do is as the above post, message someone back. Or yes, drink water Or read something (etc). Cup of coffee? (Berries ?)

I feel this way often as well. I recently started going to the park when I feel like this

There's guilt if I do; anxiety if i don't. Staying in bed is something I have to "be sick" to get to do...
