Hate getting out of bed

[Deleted member 541]

I will be 64 very soon, have a shitload of health issues, but I do work part time.... UGH!!! I allow myself every Sunday to stay in bed and not get out if I don't feel like it. I don't sleep during that time. I watch TV, read, or play online games. I just feel like I deserve it, so I do it.

She Cat I just don't know how you continue to work, but it might be the best thing for you. I have a shitload of health problems too and will be 59, but as the years pass, things that were once important to me to keep up for have lost all significance. Im glad you give yourself Sundays!

@brat17 Honestly, I don't know how I do it either. There are days, that I hurt from my head down, but..... I have to pay the rent and bills.....

For me it is either my bed or my recliner, both of which are in my bedroom. After breakfast, I often go back to bed. Also, after work, I often take a waking nap. I rarely sleep during my naps, it is just the safety of my bed and resting that are so comforting. Yup. Bed. Can't beat it for feeling safe, warm, cuddled (even though I am alone in it) and untroubled. My recliner is for reading. It is a rocker recliner, so I like to comfort myself by rocking in it, when I am not reading in it. My reading is usually some kind of self-help book or maybe a biography or especially memoirs, love those. Nothing like reading about real to life experiences from the one who they happened to!

What do you like to read? What is safe about sitting by the fire in the dark?

I like fiction usually British crime. I like the fire on, where I live is very cold. I like the dark because it's peaceful. I'm not scared in my own house, it's leaving the house I find exhausting and unsafe.

I have a 3000 sq ft house, a furnished front porch and back deck and yard with a swimming pool. I have been in that pool 2-3 times this summer. I go out and sit in back with my dogs several times a day for a few minutes. Other than a couple trips away from the house each week, I feel best under my covers in a darkened room. It my safe place.

I bought myself an extra soft blanket for my bed. I've got two more for my recliner. Once I wrap myself in one I can fall asleep fast. Feels like a hug.
