So I went to my psychiatrist the other day and told her that I struggle in the morning getting up. She thinks it's from anxiety, so she gave me an anxiety pill to take in the morning. She also switched my Celexa to some other antidepressant that won't make me feel so tired in the morning.

But I still don't want to get up in the morning. And I don't understand why. I like school, I rarely have that bad of a day. So why don't I want to get up in the morning? My psychiatrist kept asking me "why?" but I have no idea. Of course she wouldn't accept the answer "I don't know."

But I seriously don't know. Is it the depression again? Am I just lazy? Tired? Why can't I be like everyone else and just go to school with no problem?

I'm getting behind, and have 8 absences already :/ I really hate myself...

I have trouble getting started on anything. Getting to a class or activity, even a party, use to be heck. Now I just go and find that being there becomes all right. Force yourself through the going part and the being there will make up for it and will grab you more than the not-wanting-to-go.

Whatever you "practice," the going or the giving up and staying in bed, that activity will become the habit.

I agree with post above. You have to force yourself... I personally have trouble leaving the house... not actual fear, but the act of leaving takes me sooooooo long. But I go in the end, because I got to.

And about everybody else? They probably hate mornings too.

I feel like this too. I can actually go weeks without going out as I don't feel like I have to. I don't really attend school because of this I haven't attended since.. the end of September.. The year before that I only went till the end of October and the year before that I only went for a week -.-' I dunno why, I feel like nothing is really so bad about school.. I just dont FEEL like going..?

I usually go to school and am never late or absent but recently I've being depressed and missed a few days, I don't feel like their is a reason for school, in the end as long as you had a good life and your going to heaven why should education matter, but then i realized i need money and an education would be a good idea.

What time do you go to bed? It may just be your body telling you it needs more sleep. I also struggled with getting out of bed in the morning but when that happened I would start to think about all the things I had to do that day and that usually motivated me to get up.

I love teaching, but sometimes I don't want to get up and face the day either. For me, it's the time of year, and I know it will get better in January. I just have to force myself to get up and take care of things until then. Still, sometimes I slip and shirk my responsibilities....then I have to deal with the guilt...which I like to avoid....so again, just get up and force yourself. You might find that you are fine once you get moving.
