I feel like am at a bottomless pit where I look up but have no idea how to get out. I self loathe I know people can see it and some are taking advantage and kicking me when I'm down.
Everything is too overwhelming and I find myself laying in bed not wanting to get out. Sometimes I cry for no reason

Need some motivation and help
 
My bed was my safe sanctuary for a long time. I had plants, and that was it. Me and my plants.

After a long while, I got a guinea pig, and the 2 of us were besties, alone in my apartment.

Then after a long while, I got a dog. And slowly, he changed my life. I was never alone again.

Holding hope for you. It gets better.
 
small and trivial acts are my easiest motivators when my bed starts feeling like a prison cell. the thought of cleaning an entire house whelms me. picking up a few odds and ends on my way to the icebox i can handle. if i make enough trips to the icebox, the house starts looking pretty spiffy.

side note
i'm dangerously underweight. in my case, frequent trips to the icebox are a front line medical nag.
 
Sending gentle compassion 🫂

For me, it's about remembering I didn't drag myself this far to throw in the towel now. I nearly died 3ish years ago and fought so hard when the medical opinion was I was actively dying and nothing more could be done. I'm still here. It's damn hard, but I'm still here. I try and honour the part of me that fought persistently to keep going and hope that one day I can see why.
