Hi everyone. Any tips about making yourself get out of bed when nothing seems worth it? I've tried bribing myself with things that usually make me feel good like food or going out somewhere fun, but it's like I don't care at all. Everything feels blah or worse.
Really it's been like this for a few weeks. Probably since I got kicked out of college (for the next four months and if I mess it up again I'll basically be kicked out permanently). Without college or a job to keep me busy, I've just been sleeping all day. My last antidepressant raise was enough to get rid of the intense suicidal episodes, but I guess I'm going to have to raise it even more to be able to function. Feeling like a failure because my psy is always hesitant about real meds. He's especially worried about the weight gain side effects because my blood pressure is already too high. He was hoping that this smaller raise would be enough to get me back on my feet, but I guess not.
I recently joined a social club in my area for people in recovery from mental illness which seems like such a good opportunity, but again, can't seem to get up. They're open M-F 8am-5pm and have events on the weekend so I could go pretty much anytime.
**If anyone is interested in the social group, they're called clubhouse international and they have locations all over the world. It seems like not a lot of people know about it where I live
