Does Getting Out Of Bed Get Easier?

[Cool Cat]

Hi guys,

Havent been on here in a week although it feels like longer. I think I'm making process, I think. In my last session I came very very close to showing emotion and crying.

But what annoys me is I still find it so hard to get out of bed. I'm getting blood tests done to rule out any physical reasons. So despite the progress I'm making I can't tell if my sleep and sleep quality is getting better or worse.

Getting out of bed is still next to impossible, I always feel so rubbish when I wake up. Although when I do get up I am usually okay.

Yes it does! Its great that you have made some process in therapy. Although therapy helps it is really hard too. It is perfectly reasonable to want to stay in bed. Don't be too hard on yourself. I'm glad you have seen your doctor for blood tests. Its always a good idea to rule out any other possible causes. Rest if you can.

I can almost be envious. Almost. My problem is staying in bed, even when I am exhausted and sick. The envy won't quite gel, though. That lethargy doesn't really look any more fun than the hypo-mania which results from my fear of going to bed...

How 'bout we try to catch each other on the next pendulum swing? Perhaps we could both benefit from finding some balance between the extremes.

Cool cat, I do have difficulty getting out of bed because I do feel rubbish. I do get up, but with all bad feelings of previous day. I express gratitude to universe to make this wake up process easy. Sometimes I feel like I have not slept enough even if I have slept 8-9 hours.

It's tough, I expect some long time to fix this.
